Assessment

\newline

A school club listed the attendance at its weekly meetings as follows.

\newline

12,20,15,18,12,18,10,14

\newline

Which is true if you add a

10

to the set of data?

\newline

The mean will decrease.

\newline

The mean will increase.

\newline

There will be no mode.

\newline

The median will not change.

\newline

Scientific Calculator

Calculate Mean: Calculate the current mean of the data set. $\newline$ $(12 + 20 + 15 + 18 + 12 + 18 + 10 + 14) / 8 = 119 / 8 = 14.875$
Add $10$ and Recalculate Mean: Add a $10$ to the data set and calculate the new mean. $\newline$ $(12 + 20 + 15 + 18 + 12 + 18 + 10 + 14 + 10) / 9 = 129 / 9 = 14.333$
Compare Old and New Mean: Compare the old mean ( $14.875$ ) with the new mean ( $14.333$ ). The new mean is less than the old mean, so the mean will decrease.
Determine Mode: Determine the mode of the current data set. $\newline$ The number $12$ and $18$ both appear twice, so they are the modes.
Add $10$ and Find New Mode: Add a $10$ to the data set and determine the new mode. $\newline$ The number $10$ will now appear twice, along with $12$ and $18$ , so there will still be a mode.
Find Median: Find the current median of the data set. $\newline$ Order the data set: $10, 12, 12, 14, 15, 18, 18, 20$ $\newline$ The median is the average of the two middle numbers: $(14 + 15) / 2 = 14.5$
Add $10$ and Find New Median: Add a $10$ to the data set and find the new median. $\newline$ Order the new data set: $10, 10, 12, 12, 14, 15, 18, 18, 20$ $\newline$ The new median is the middle number, which is $14$ .
Compare Old and New Median: Compare the old median ( $14.5$ ) with the new median ( $14$ ). The median has changed, so the statement ＂The median will not change＂ is incorrect.
