Answer

a)   y    |      p(y)

    25   |      0.8

   100   |     0.15

   300   |      0.05

E(y) = ∑ y . p(y)

E(y) = 25 × 0.8 + 100 × 0.15 + 300 × 0.05

E(y) = 50

average class size equal to E(y) = 50

b)  y    |      p(y)

    25   |     \dfrac{16\times 25}{1000}=0.4

   100   |     \dfrac{3\times 100}{1000}=0.3

   300   |      \dfrac{1\times 300}{1000}=0.3

E(y) = ∑ y . p(y)

E(y) = 25 × 0.4 + 100 × 0.3 + 300 × 0.3

E(y) = 130

average class size equal to E(y) = 130

c) Average Student in the class in a school = 50

  Average student at the school has student = 130

Help me with this question this was supposed to be due yesterday!
Inessa05 [86]

Answer: Both the mean and median decreased.

Step-by-step explanation:

The addition of the 500 lb baby elephant will have a huge impact on the mean, since you'll be finding the average (adding all numbers then dividing). So the only logical answer would be the chosen. The median will most likely either decrease or stay the same, but since staying the same isn't an option for the median, it's most likely going to be decrease.

[I do apologize in advance if it's wrong, and next time try submitting work on time :)) Hope I helped!]
