The mean is not the same thing as median
mean=78+81+85+87=331
mean=331/4=82.75
median is the middle number, but you have a par set of numbers, so your median will be the middle numbers 78,81,85,87 , which are 81+85=166, 166/2=83
83 is your median
Answer: The mean increases.
Step-by-step explanation:
The value of 0.9 mg/L is very low compared to a means of 7.6 mg/L with a standard deviation of 2.1 mg/L. It seems as though it is an outlier that is suffiently different from the others, and probably should be dropped from the data set. That would do 2 things: 1) the stabdard deviation will likely decrease, indicating a more confident data set, and 2) the mean vitamin C level will increase.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use substitution to find the value of 
:
Hope this helps :)
First find slope
(7-5)/(3-5) = 2/-2 = -1
Slope intercept: y = mx + b
Y = -1x + b, plug in point
5 = -1(5) + b, b = 10
Equation: y = -1x + 10
