Answer:
Answer: The mean increases by 3
Step-by-step explanation:
The original data set is
{50, 76, 78, 79, 79, 80, 81, 82, 82, 83}
The outlier is 50 because it is not near the group of values from 76 to 83 which is where the main cluster is.
The original mean is M = (50+76+78+79+79+80+81+82+82+83)/10 = 77
If we take out the outlier 50, the new mean is N = (76+78+79+79+80+81+82+82+83)/9 = 80
So in summary so far
old mean = M = 77
new mean = N = 80
The difference in values is N-M = 80-77 = 3
So that's why the mean increases by 3
The first column is the ratio you start with. The next column in the table should be the reduced fraction. To properly reduce a fraction, you divide the same number on the top and bottom of the fraction. Melody instead subtracted 1 in the top and bottom of the fraction to reduce it. She should have divided the top and bottom by 2 to get the second column of 1 pound of turkey and 3 people served.
The final column is designed to be the answer to the initial question of how many people are fed by 15 pounds of ground turkey. Starting with column 2 (the reduced ratio of 1/3), multiply the top by 15 to get 15 pounds of ground turkey. Then do the same to the bottom of the fraction. 3 x 15 = 45 people fed.
So the table should have been
Pounds of turkey 2 1 15
People served 1 3 45
Melody's overriding error was in believing that adding or subtracting numbers to both the top and bottom of a ratio/fraction keep its value the same. Instead, only multiplying or dividing the top and bottom by the same number creates an equivalent fraction.
