The new mean tip earnings would be calculated as:
(35.80 + 79.60 + 38.10 + 20.50 + 10.45 + 96.78 + 45.90 + 25.32) / 8 = $41.80
The new median tip earnings would be $38.10 since adding $25.32 would not change the order of the tips.
Therefore, the mean is now $41.80, which is less than it was before. The median is now $38.10, which is less than it was before.
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.
The mean is now $____, which is less than it was before. The median is now $____, which is less than it was before.
