Jon's weight loss for each week of the month is 4 lbs, 3.5 lbs, and 2 lbs. he gained 4.5 lbs, the last week. if jon originally weighed 153 lbs., how much does he weigh now?

there are no short passages to look at

solution:

as, mean is defined as sum of all the observations divided by total number of observations.

and , median is mid value of the data whether arranged in ascending order or descending order.

consider, roadsters:

2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9

mean =

also, median= , because number of observations is even, so median is mean of two mid values.

now, coming to bandits

2,3,4,5,6

mean =  

median = 4, as number of observations is odd.

so, roadsters has greater median as well mean than bandits.

→option a is true about the repairs performed on 2 types of cars:

bandits have lower median and mean than roadsters.
