Algebra.Com's Answer #244738 by MathTherapy(10858) You can put this solution on YOUR website! In a set of eleven different numbers, which of the following CANNOT affect the value of the median? \n" ); document.write( "A. Doubling each number \n" ); document.write( "B. Increasing each number by 10 \n" ); document.write( "C. Increasing the smallest number only \n" ); document.write( "D. Decreasing the largest number only \n" ); document.write( "E. Increasing the largest number only\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "CHOICE A. Doubling each number WILL DEFINITELY CHANGE the value of the median.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "CHOICE B. \n" ); document.write( "Increasing each number by 10 WILL DEFINITELY CHANGE the value of the median.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "CHOICE C. \n" ); document.write( "Increasing the smallest number only CAN POSSIBLY CHANGE the value of the median, especially if it is increased to a value greater than the median.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "CHOICE D. \n" ); document.write( "Decreasing the largest number only CAN POSSIBLY CHANGE the value of the median, especially if it is decreased to a value less than the median.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Increasing the largest number only MOST DEFINITELY WILL NOT CHANGE the value of the median, as the median maintains its value and will be in the same position as before - the position of the center or middle value in the set of data values. \n" ); document.write( " |
