Replacing only the minimum value in a data to a smaller number will change the median

Solution:

we have been asked to find that whether the given statement is True or False.

Replacing only the minimum value in a data to a smaller number will change the medianFALSE

As we know the median is caluclated by arranging the given numbers in ascending/descending order. The we choose the middle one as a median if total number of numbers are odd. But if toal numbers of numbers are even then we take the average of the middle two and that average is the median.

So if we you are going add a number in the given set of numbers then surely the median is going to change, irrespective of the vaue of the number.

Hence the given statement is  False.

the answer is 200

step-by-step explanation:

the way the question is worded, it seems to imply the $264 interest is simple interest, not compound interest.

the simple interest for 2 years is $264; the simple interest for 1 year is $132.

$132 interest on a $600 investment means an interest rate of (132/600)*100 = 22%.

the value of $200 at 22% interest compounded annually for three years is

200%281.22%29%5e3

the amount of interest is that value, minus the original $200.
