Brandon works at a small petting zoo with 8 animals. He was looking at some data showing the masses of the animals. Each animal

had a different mass between 2 and 160 kg. The zoo then buys a horse that weighs 900 kg as their 9th animal.
Animal Weight (in kilograms)
chicken 2
duck 3
goose 5
barn cat 7
dog 27
goat 36
lamb 45
pig 160
horse 900

Answer:

<em>OPtion B. Both the mean and median will increase, but the mean will increase by more than the median.</em>

<em />

Explanation:

You should not need to do calculations to determine <em>how buying the horse affects the mean and median.</em>

Without the horse, there are 8 animals. When the data are ordered, the <em>median</em> is the average of the 4th and the 5th weights: (7 + 27)/2.

With the horse, there are 9 animals. The median will be the 5th weight: 27

Then, the median increases from (7 +27)/2 to 27.

What about the <em>mean</em>?

The horse's weight is well beyond the weight of the other 8 animals. The range increases from 160 - 2 = 158 to 900 - 2 = 898.

Then, when you calculate the mean inlcuding the weigth of the horse, there will be a high increase.

Thus, without further calculations, you can conclude that "<em>B. Both the mean and median will increase, but the mean will increase by more than the median"</em>

Leviafan [203]

Answer: The required probability is 0.3456.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Probability of winning at any given time = 0.6

Probability of losing at any given time = 1-0.6 = 0.4

Number of total matches = 5

Number of won matches = 3

So, using "Binomial distribution", we get that

P(X=3)=^5C_3(0.6)^3(0.4)^2\\\\P(X=3)=0.3456

Hence, the required probability is 0.3456.
