138 is the outlier since it is more than 1.5 * IQR past the third quartile of the data set.
With this upper outlier, the mean will be significantly higher. Without it, it will lower back down, so B is your answer
Write an equation based on the problem in the terms of x and solve the equation
first number + second number + third number = 240
x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 240
3x + 3 = 240
3x = 240 - 3
3x = 237
x = 237/3
x = 79
The smallest number, x, is equal to 79
Find the next two numbers
the second number = x + 1
the second number = 79 + 1
the second number = 80
the third number = x + 2
the third number = 79 + 2
the third number = 81
ANSWER: The three numbers are 79, 80, 81
Remember you can do anything to an equaiton as long asyou do it to both sides
4v+18≥6v+10
minus 4v both sides
4v-4v+18≥6v-4v+10
0+18≥2v+10
18≥2v+10
minus 10 both sides
18-10≥2v+10-10
8≥2v+0
8≥2v
divide both sides by 2
8/2=(2v)/2
4≥(2/2)v
4≥1v
4≥v
v≤4
