Answer:
<u>If we remove 61 from the data set, the median changes from 87.5 to 93.</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's calculate the median of the original data set:
Median = (3rd term + 4th term)/2 because the number of terms are even and our median mark is the average of the two middle marks, in this case, 82 and 93.
Median = (82 + 93)/2
Median = 87.5
2. Let's calculate the median of the data set removing 61:
Median = 3rd term because our median mark is the middle mark, in this case, 93. It is the middle mark because there are 2 scores before it (80 and 82) and 2 scores (94 and 98) after it.
Median = 93
