To answer this question let's remember the definitions of the mean and the median.

The mean is defined as the sum of all the values is the data set divided by the number of values we have in the data set, that is:

mean=\frac{\sum_{i\mathop{=}1}^nx_i}{n}

On the other hand, the median is defined as the central number of the data set, that is, it the number that divides the ordered data set in two subsets of equal length.

From this definition we conclude that the mean is more affected by outliers; this comes from the fact that for this central tendency measure we need to add the values and hence the outliers will affect this sum.

Student Council sponsors weekly dances at their school on Friday nights. The admission price for each person is $4 for Student C
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

$110

Step-by-step explanation:

So first you have to do 15*4. We get the 4 from the admission fees and the 15 from the number of dances they attend. From this answer we can see the total of money they will be paying for admission for the 15 dances.

15*4=$60

However, our answer isn't just $50 as we are also told membership costs $50. So no we add $50 to $60, which gives us an answer of $110, which is the amount the member will pay if they attend 15 dances during the school year.
