Michael wants to know how many pairs of shoes 6th graders typically own. He surveys the 6th graders at his summer camp. His results are given in the table. After Michael creates the table, he realizes that he forgot to include himself. Michael owns 4 pairs of shoes.
Calculate the median of the original dataset and the median of the new dataset with the data point for Michael’s 4 pairs of shoes added.

The median of the original dataset is $$. The median of the new dataset after another “4” is added is $$.
Question 3
A)Yasmine works as a server at a restaurant and earns different amounts in tips each night. Her tip earnings for her past 7 nights of work are listed below:
$35.80, $79.60, $38.10, $20.50, $10.45, $96.78, $45.90
Yasmine calculates that her mean tip earnings is $46.73, and her median tip earnings is $38.10. If Yasmine makes $25.32 in tips the next time she works, how will the values of her mean and median tip earnings change? Round all answers to two decimal places.(1 point)
The mean is now $$$, which is less than it was before. The median is now $$$, which is less than it was before.

Michael wants to know how many pairs of shoes 6th graders own. He surveys the 6th graders at his summer camp. His results are given in the table. After Michael creates the table, he realizes that he forgot to include himself. Michael owns 4 pairs of shoes.
Determine the interquartile range (IQR) of the original dataset and the interquartile range of the new dataset with the data point for Michael’s 4 pairs of shoes added.
(1 point)
The interquartile range of the original dataset is $$.
The interquartile range of the new dataset after another “4” is added is $$.

Original dataset:
Mean = (0+10+15+4+70+15+18+20+6+8+10+12+15+18+20+2+35+40+10)/19 = 17.7
New dataset after removing "70":
Mean = (0+10+15+4+15+18+20+6+8+10+12+15+18+20+2+35+40+10)/18 = 14.833
Therefore, the mean of the original dataset is 17.7 and the mean of the new dataset after removing "70" is 14.833.
Question 2
Original dataset:
Median = 6 pairs (as the middle value when arranged in ascending order)
New dataset after adding Michael's data point:
Median = 6 pairs (as the middle value when arranged in ascending order)
Therefore, the median of the original dataset and the new dataset remains at 6 pairs.
Question 3
Given data:
$35.80, $79.60, $38.10, $20.50, $10.45, $96.78, $45.90
Mean = ($35.80 + $79.60 + $38.10 + $20.50 + $10.45 + $96.78 + $45.90 + $25.32)/8 ≈ $43.31
Median = $38.10
Therefore, the new mean is $43.31 and the new median is $38.10.
Question 4
Original dataset:
Range = 70 - 0 = 70
New dataset after removing "70":
Range = 40 - 0 = 40
Therefore, the range of the original dataset is 70 and the range of the new dataset after removing "70" is 40.
Question 5
Original dataset:
IQR = Q3 - Q1 = 7 pairs - 3 pairs = 4 pairs
New dataset after adding Michael's data point:
IQR = Q3 - Q1 = 7 pairs - 3 pairs = 4 pairs
Therefore, the interquartile range of the original dataset and the new dataset remains at 4 pairs.
New dataset after removing "70":
Mean = (0+10+15+4+15+18+20+6+8+10+12+15+18+20+2+35+40+10)/18 = 15.611
Therefore, the mean of the original dataset is 17.7 and the mean of the new dataset after removing "70" is 15.611. Thank you for pointing out the error.
New dataset after removing "70":
Sum of remaining values = 0+10+15+4+15+18+20+6+8+10+12+15+18+20+2+35+40+10 = 230
Number of remaining values = 18
Mean = 230/18 ≈ 12.78
Therefore, the mean of the original dataset is 17.7 and the mean of the new dataset after removing "70" is approximately 12.78. Thank you for your patience.
Given data for Yasmine's tip earnings:
$35.80, $79.60, $38.10, $20.50, $10.45, $96.78, $45.90
Mean tip earnings = ($35.80 + $79.60 + $38.10 + $20.50 + $10.45 + $96.78 + $45.90) / 7 = $42.88
Median tip earnings = $38.10
After adding her next tip earnings of $25.32:
New mean tip earnings = ($35.80 + $79.60 + $38.10 + $20.50 + $10.45 + $96.78 + $45.90 + $25.32) / 8 = $43.34
New median tip earnings = $38.10
Therefore, the mean changes from $46.73 to $43.34 (decreases) and the median remains the same at $38.10. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
