<h3>Answer:  D) 76; increases</h3>

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

Explanation:

The main group or cluster of values spans from 32 to 42 (inclusive).

Then off on its own is the value 76, which we consider an outlier. This value is fairly far from the group. As a rule, large outliers pull on the arithmetic mean to make it larger than it should be. Think of it like the outlier pulling on the mean as if it was done through a magnet or gravitational pull.

Similarly, small outliers pull the mean to the left to make it smaller than it should be. We don't have any small outliers in this case.

--------------

Let's consider the set

A = {32, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 38, 41, 42, 42, 46}

where I've sorted the values and I replaced 76 with 46.

Computing the mean of set A gets us

(32+34+35+36+37+38+38+41+42+42+46)/11 = 38.27 approximately

--------------

Now let's form this set

B = {32, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 38, 41, 42, 42, 76}

which is the original set your teacher gave you. It's nearly identical to set A, except that the 46 is now 76 again.

Compute the mean of set B

(32+34+35+36+37+38+38+41+42+42+76)/11 = 41

---------------

Set A has a mean of roughly 38.72 and set B has a mean of 41. We see that the mean has increased.

Find 2x2 − 2z4 + y2 − x2 + z4 if x = −4, y = 3, and z = 2.
maw [93]
If you put in the substitutions it would be 2*2-(2*2*4)+(3*2)-(-4*2)+(2*4).
Simplified further by multiplying it would be 2*2-8+6--8+8
the negative 8 could be simplified further since the negatives cancel out so you'll have 2*2-8+6+8+8.
Then using the order of operations you would multiply the 2's together first to get 4 so you have 4-8+6+8+8. 
After that it's simple addition giving you an answer of -26.
I'm not sure if you're looking for the final answer or just the equation with substitutions but there's both.
