The smallest elephant, named Lola, weighed 2,700 kg2{,}700\,{\text{kg}}2,700kg2, comma, 700, start text, k, g, end text. Lola then got very sick and lost weight until her mass reached 1,800 kg1{,}800\,{\text{kg}}1,800kg1, comma, 800, start text, k, g, end text. How will Lola's mass decreasing affect the mean and median? Choose 1 answer: Choose 1 answer: (Choice A) A Both the mean and median will decrease. (Choice B) B The median will decrease, and the mean will stay the same. (Choice C) C The mean will decrease, and the median will stay the same.
