The ages of ten employees at a small company are shown below. 30, 32, 35, 35, 38, 38, 38, 40, 40, 45

If the data set were expanded to include a new employee who is 20 years old, how would the mean of the data set change?

A) The mean decreases by 2 years.
B) The mean decreases by about I .6 years.
C) The mean increases by about 1.6 years.
D) The mean does not change.

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Before you add 20 the mean is 37.1 after you add 20 it’s 35.54.

37.1-35.54=1.56

Round 1.56 to 1.6

relating to or denoting a system of numbers and arithmetic based on the number ten, tenth parts, and powers of ten.

it alot will look like this 4.4

alright so i think for this one it would to draw it out. this may be hard for me to try and draw, but i will do my best on here:

        r

  /       |     \

notice how it forms 2 triangles inside one bigger triangle.

so if we know the angle spr is the same as psr that is saying the measure of angle p is the same as angle s. this means the big triangle psr is either isosceles or equilateral. in both cases, the triangle is perfectly symmetrical when split down the middle, which is in this case rq. because we know it is perfectly symmetrical on both sides, we know that the two triangles inside the bigger one are equal.
