It is not possible to calculate the mean because the box plot does not provide the 12 scores. It only provides a summary of the scores.

The number of writing instruments in some teachers' desks is displayed in the dot plot. Which is greater, the mean or the median? Explain your reasoning using the shape of the distribution.

The median is greater than the mean. Since the distribution is skewed left, the mean will be less than the median.

The mean is greater then the median. Since the distribution is skewed to the right.

The mean is equal to the median since the distribution is symmetrical

There is not enough information

A student has these scores on their assignments. The teacher is considering dropping a lowest score. What effect does eliminating the lowest value, 0, from the data set have on the mean and median? 0, 40, 60, 70, 75, 80, 85, 95, 95, 100

The mean increases from 70 to approximately 77.78. The median increases from 77.5 to 80.

The mean decreases from 70 to approximately 66.5 The median increases from 77.5 to 80.

The mean increases from 70 to approximately 77.78. The median decreases from 77.5 to 65.

There is no change to the mean or median
