The salaries of 235 nurses were recorded and analyzed. The analyst later found that the highest salary was incorrectly recorded as 10 times the actual amount. After the error was corrected, the report showed that the corrected value was still higher than any other salary. Which sample statistic must have changed after the correction was made? mean median (know it is not this) mode minimum

Respuesta :

The correct answer is A. Mean

Explanation:

In the analysis of numerical data, means refers to the average value. This is found by adding all the values, in this case, all the salaries and then dividing the total by the total of values, in this case, 235. This sample statistic is affected by each of the values that are added, due to this, if a value changes or was corrected, the mean needs to be revised. Also, this does not occur in the case of the minimum (lowest value), the median (value in the middle), or in the mode (most frequent value.)
