Consider the following data set: {4, 5, 6, 7, 10}. If you remove one of the numbers from the list, then the mean increases and the median doesn’t change. Which number is it?

6

Step-by-step explanation:

Right now, the mean is 6.4 and the median is 6. If you take away 6, the mean would be 6.5 and the median will stay the same. The median will stay the same because when there is no middle number, you add the two closest numbers and divide by two.

example 2 – simplify: step 1: completely factor both the numerators and denominators of all fractions. step 2: change the division sign to a multiplication sign and flip (or reciprocate) the fraction after the division sign; essential you need to multiply by the reciprocal. step 3 : cancel or reduce the fractions.
