WILL GIVE BRAINLIST---A data set includes the following temperatures: 78°, 85°, 75°, 84°, 73°, and 103°. If 103° is removed from the data, how will the median be affected? A) The median decreases by 3° B) The median increases by 3° C) The median increases by 8°. D) The median decreases by 4°.

Answer 1

Answer:

The Answer would be A) The median decreases by 3 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

First You order the numbers from least to greatest wich would give you 73, 75, 78, 84, 85, 103. The you find the middle number (the median) since it would be between 78 and 84 you take the average of those two numbers which would give you 81. Then when you take 103 away you find the median again and get 81. Next you subtract 78 from 81, and there's your answer.
