Question

Pants 78, 62, 62, 57, 57, 64, 58, 57, 62
Shirts 56, 61, 64, 69, 68, 57, 57, 61, 56
Myra created a spreadsheet and a line graph with the prices of men's shirts and pants on sale at a store, rounded to the nearest dollar. What is the difference in the means of both shirts and pants combined if you remove the outliner of $78? Round to the nearest hundredth.

To find the mean without the outlier of $78, we first need to calculate the mean of both sets without the outlier.

For pants:
(62 + 62 + 57 + 57 + 64 + 58 + 57 + 62) / 8 = 60.375

For shirts:
(56 + 61 + 64 + 69 + 68 + 57 + 57 + 61 + 56) / 9 = 60.22

Now, calculate the mean of both combined:
(60.375 + 60.22) / 2 = 60.2975

Rounded to the nearest hundredth, the mean of both combined without the outlier of $78 is $60.30.
bot that is wrong

Apologies for the mistake. Let's recalculate the mean of both shirts and pants combined without the outlier of $78.

For pants:
(62 + 62 + 57 + 57 + 64 + 58 + 57 + 62) / 8 = 59.125

For shirts:
(56 + 61 + 64 + 69 + 68 + 57 + 57 + 61 + 56) / 9 = 60.78

Now, calculate the mean of both combined:
(59.125 + 60.78) / 2 = 59.9525

Rounded to the nearest hundredth, the mean of both shirts and pants combined without the outlier of $78 is $59.95.
Please just give me the right answer

I apologize for the error.

The corrected mean of both shirts and pants combined without the outlier of $78 is:

[(62 + 62 + 57 + 57 + 64 + 58 + 57 + 62 + 56 + 61 + 64 + 69 + 68 + 57 + 57 + 61 + 56) - 78]/16 = $60.625
