Describe the impact on the median of removing 12 from the following dataset: 2, 5, 19, 16, 12, 14, 4, 12, 8.(1 point)

Answer 1

After removing the number 12 from the dataset, the new dataset would be: 2, 5, 19, 16, 14, 4, 8.

To find the median of this new dataset, we first need to arrange the numbers in order: 2, 4, 5, 8, 14, 16, 19.

The median is the middle number when the numbers are arranged in order. In this case, the median is 8.

So, removing the number 12 from the original dataset did not impact the median, as the new median remains the same at 8.
