Desmond's surf shop had the following number of customers on each of the last ten days:

160, 175, 166, 180, 172, 178, 174, 170, 178, 300

as much as desmond would like to think having 300 customers in one day is normal, he knows that it does not reflect the number of customers that come to the shop each day.

when he removes the outlier of 300 from the data, which of the following happens?

hint:

find the mean with the original data. (get the sum and divide by the number of data points.)
then find the mean of the data points once the 300 is removed.
find the mode.
1points
select two that apply.

a
the mode does not change.

b
the mean does not change.

c
the mean drops from 185.3 to 172.6.

A The mode does not change.

C The mean drops from 185.3 to 172.6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean of original data

Mean = (160 + 175 + 166 + 180 + 172 + 178 + 174 + 170 + 178 + 300)/10 = 1853/10 = 185.3

Mean with outlier removed

Mean = (1853 - 300)/9 = 1553/9 = 172.6

The mean drops from 185.3 to 172.6 when the outlier is removed.

Mode

The mode of a data set is the value that occurs most often.

Mode = 178

The mode does not change when you remove the outlier.  

all group life insurance is term insurance. actually it is annual renewable term and it is rated on the average age and claims experience of the entire group, which is called "experience rating." remember, this type of insurance has a 31-day grace period and is convertible to whole life upon leaving employment. a contributory group plan requires that both the employer and the employees pay part of the premium. at least 75% of those eligible must participate, so the group is sure to get most of the healthy employees as well as those that are sick.

step-by-step explanation:

the 8 in 8,420 is in the thousands place so it's value is 8 thousand.

the 8 in 6,870 is in the hundreds place so it's value is 8 hundred.

divide 8000 by 800 to find the answer:

8000 / 800 = 10

the 8 in 8,420 is 10 times greater than the 8 in 6,870
