A data set includes the following grades: 98, 94, 93, 82, 61, 80. Suppose that 61 is removed from the data. How is the median affected?

93 is the mediam

Step-by-step explanation:

because the 93 is the only onethat is left in the middle and that doesn't have pair

If we remove 61 from the data set, the median changes from 87.5 to 93.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's calculate the median of the original data set:

Median = (3rd term + 4th term) / 2 because the number of terms are even and our median mark is the average of the two middle marks, in this case, 82 and 93.

Median = (82 + 93) / 2

Median = 87.5

2. Let's calculate the median of the data set removing 61:

Median = 3rd term because our median mark is the middle mark, in this case, 93. It is the middle mark because there are 2 scores before it (80 and 82) and 2 scores (94 and 98) after it.

Median = 93
