So firstly, add px onto both sides of the equation:
Next, add 2 to both sides of the equation:
Next, factor out -x on the right side of the equation:
Next, divide both sides by (8 - p):
Lastly, multiply both sides by -1 and <u>your answer will be </u>
Answer:
Here is the complete question attached with.
The mean score would decrease more than the median score.
Step-by-step explanation:
The numbers for which we have to find the mean and median are:
Here the mean,
Median, as median is the middle term if the observations are arranged in ascending order.
Now as the question says that we have to add a zero to see its effect.
So adding a zero we have
Mean
Median ,as number of observations is even terms so we will add two middle numbers and divide it with
.
So we can conclude that the mean is having more variation than the median.
Mean shows as variation of where as Median shows a variation of
only.
So our final answer is option D that is "The mean score would decrease more than the median score."
