Median: 60

Answer 2

Solution:

we are given that

Dukes science quiz scores are 99,91,60,94,and 95 .

we have been asked to describe the effect of the outlier on the mean and median.

Mean of the given data$=\frac{99+91+60+94+95}{5}$

Mean of the given data$=\frac{439}{5}=87.8$

Median of the given data after arranging in the ascending order 60,91,94,95,99 is 94.

The outlier is 60.

The outlier is decreasing the value of Mean by $87.8-60=27.8$

The outlier is decreasing the value of Median by $94-60=34$
