Answer:

median

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to sort the numbers from largest to smallest (you could go the other way as well).

60 52 48 44 20 16 12

The median is the middle number 44 in this case. The median has 3 numbers on its left and 3 on its right (in this case). 44 has 60 52 48 or its left and 20 16 and 12 on its right.

The mean is the average. We'll call it the new average

The mean is 60 + 52 + 48 + 44 + 20 + 16 + 12 = 252

The new mean is 252 / 7 = 36

=====================

The old median is the average between the middle 2 numbers (before you added 60 you had 6 numbers)

52 + 48 + 44 + 20 + 16 + 12 = the average of 44 + 20 which 64/2 = 32

The old mean was (52 + 48 + 44 + 20 + 16 + 12)/6 = 32.

=======================

The median increased from 44 to 32 = 12

The mean went from 32 to 36 which is 4

Answer: the median increased more

What is your opinion that we should raise the drinking/smoking ages to 21?
timofeeve [1]
In my opinion the ages for drinking/smoking should not be raised to 21. While I am not a fan of either and they almost never lead to good things, it just seems odd to me that a person can fight for his country at 18, but can't smoke or drink.
