10, 14, 15, 15, 14, 10
The Mean Absolute Deviation for this data is 2.
A seventh student took 8 minutes to finish the quiz.  We added his time to our data.  What will happen to the MAD?

• It will decrease because our range is bigger.

• It will increase because our range is bigger.

• It will not change.

• It will decrease because we have more numbers in our data set.

A data set consists of the numbers 2, 2, 5, 6 and 15.  Which statement is true for this data?

• median = mode

Ms. Rork's class had a range of test grades from 78 to 97. She forgot to add in a student who got an 80% on the test. How will this affect the range?
