The average weight in pounds of several breeds of dogs is listed below. 15, 45, 26, 55, 15, 30 If the average weight of the Golden Retriever, 70, is added to this list, which of the following statements would be true? A The mode would increase. B The median would decrease. C The median would increase. D The mean would decrease. Example 3
Read the ItemYou are asked to identify which statement would be true if the data value 70 was added to the data set. Solve the ItemUse number sense to eliminate possibilities. The mode, 15, will remain unchanged since the new data value occurs only once. So, eliminate choice A. Since the new data value is greater than each value in the data set, neither the mean nor the median will decrease. So, eliminate choices B and D. Answer: So, the answer is C. Example 3
