    Question

    A trip leader asks the age (in years) of the nine participants of a group trip (see table below).
    He calculates three center measures (mode, median, and mean age).

    However, it turns out then the age of participant 9 is entered incorrectly: That should be “29,” instead of “99.” Which center measure or center measures will change because of this change?


    1. FALSE: The median and mean will change.
    2. FALSE: Both the mode, median, and mean will change.
    3. TRUE: Only the mean will change.
    4. FALSE: Only the median will change.
    5. FALSE: The mode and the mean will change.
    6. FALSE: Only the mode will change.

    1. False
    2. False
    3. True
    4. False
    5. False
    6. False
