Liam works at a zoo. He was looking at some data showing the masses of their 5 African elephants. The mean mass of the elephants was 3,800 kg (kilograms), and the median mass was 3,600 kg (kilograms). The heaviest elephant, named Omar, was recorded as 6,000 kg (kilograms). Liam then found out that Omar's mass was written down incorrectly, and that Omar actually has a mass of 7,000
How will increasing Omar's mass affects the mean and median?
Choose 1 answer:
A: Both the Median and Mean will increase
B: The median will increase, and the mean will stay the same.
C: The mean will increase, and the median will stay the same.
D: The mean will increase, and the median will decrease.

Answer:

Here's the answer! The mean will increase and the median will stay the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean is the average, so if you have larger numbers, the mean will go up, since 6,000 was changed to 7,000 the mean will increase.

For the median, the median is the number in the middle so the other numbers don't really matter, because 7,000 would be the last number in the data set, (it will be last because to find the median you have to order the numbers in least to greatest) it won't change anything because, only the number in the middle numbers

Unrelated to the question but if you need to find the median and the data set has an even amount of numbers, take the 2 numbers in the "middle" and add them together and then divide them by 2.

Example: 3, 8, 17, 23

add 8 and 17 together, divide by 2, you will get 12.5

hence the median is 12.5 of the data set in the example.

Tip: if you have a larger data set, (more numbers, i'm not talking about the value of a number) try crossing out one number from each side, repeat until you get to the middle then you have your median, if there's an even amount of numbers, remember, add then divide by 2!

Hope this helps!

Dang I really took the time to type all that-

If this does help, I'd appreciate getting brainliest.

Have nice day!
