The new mean tip earnings will be:
(35.80 + 79.60 + 38.10 + 20.50 + 10.45 + 96.78 + 45.90 + 25.32) / 8 = $39.92
The new median tip earnings will be $38.10.
Therefore, the mean tip earnings will decrease to $39.92, which is less than it was before. The median tip earnings will remain the same at $38.10.
