Answer:
Answer C
Explanation:
Class A Median: 4, 5, 6, 6, 7, 7, 7, 7, 8, 8
The Median of Class A is 7.
Class B Median: 5, 6, 6, 6, 7, 7, 7, 8, 8, 9
The Median of Class B is 7.
Class A Mean: 4 + 5 + 6 + 6 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 8 + 8 = 65
To find the mean, you add all of the numbers together, and divide the total by the amount of numbers. (There are ten numbers in the equation, so we divide 65 by 10.)
65/10 = 6.5, This means that the mean of Class A is 6.5
Class B Mean: 5 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 8 + 8 + 9 = 69
Do the same thing as last time, divide 69 by 10. (6.9)
The mean of class B is 6.9
Answer A and B are both incorrect, because the medians for both classes were the same. Answer C is correct, because the mean of class B was 6.9 and the mean of Class A was 6.5
Answer D is also incorrect, 6.9 is 0.4 greater than 6.5
