Six children have collected these amounts in their piggy banks: $10, $33,
$45, $23, $1, and $68. What is the median of their savings?
a. $28
b. $33
c. $23
d. $66 - ✔✔answer: a. $28
Rearrange the numbers in increasing order: 1, 10, 23, 33, 45, and 68. The
median of a sequence of numbers is the middle value. Since there are six
numbers, there are two values in the middle 23 and 33 and, therefore, the
median is the average of these values. The median is 28.

15, 15, 16, 16, 16, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 18, and 34. If the weight of the
heaviest trout is removed from the data, which statistical parameter will
drastically change?
a. range
b. median
c. mean
d. mode - ✔✔answer: a. range
Since the mean, median, and mode are measures of center, outliers will
not have much effect. The range will be greatly affected since it measures
the difference between the highest and lowest.
