Question

Quinn mailed four postcards that each cost $0.25, five letters that each cost $0.44, two large envelopes that each cost $0.80, and one small package for $5.10. Which cost on the list of mailing fees on Quinn’s receipt would skew the mean? the cost of a postcard the cost of a letter the cost of a large envelope the cost of the small package

Answer 1

D. the cost of the small package

Answer 2

Answer:

The cost of the small package

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of 1 postcards = $0.25

Cost of 4 postcards =$0.25 \times 4 =1$

Cost of 1 letter = $0.44

Cost of 5 letters =$0.44 \times 5 =2.2$

Cost of 1 large envelope = $0.80

Cost of 2 large envelopes = $0.80 \times 2 =1.6$

Cost of 1 small package =$5.10

Since the cost of small package is highest

So, It will increase the mean

So,  the cost of the small package will skew the mean
