Why do whole numbers rise to an exponent get greater while fractions raise to an exponent get smaller?

Answer:

This is because exponents increase a number, for example 2, and, 2^2 <em>squaring a number is basically multiplying it by itself.</em> So 2 * 2 = 2^2=4. Now obiviously 4 is greater than 2. But lets make the numbers like this:

\frac{1}{2}, and, \frac{1}{2}^2

And again, \frac{1}{2}*\frac{1}{2} = (\frac{1}{2})^2 = \frac{1}{4}

Now, which is bigger \frac{1}{2}or\frac{1}{4}

A quarter is smaller than a half right?

So in this case we can see that fractions raised to an exponent get smaller while numbers raised to an exponent get bigger.

Answer:

Mode

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean:

Before replacing = 464/8 = 58

After replacing 42 with 98 = 520/8 = 65

Mode:

Before replacing = 42

After replacing 42 with 98 = 98

Median:

25, 42 , 42 , 47, 55 , 59, 96,98

Before replacing =  47+55/2 = 51

25, 42 ,  47, 55 , 59, 96,98 , 98

After replacing 42 with 98 =  55+59/2 = 114/2 = 57
