Respuesta :

Answer:

C it skews the data to the right

Step-by-step explanation:

When we add the outlier $4.49, the two true options are A and C.

What does this outlier do to the data?

First, we have the set of data:

{$2.99, $3.19, $3.29, $2.99, $3.19, $2.79 ,$2.89, $2.99, $2.99, $2.99}

If we add the outlier $4.49, the median increases (because the value added is on the larger side).

The mode does not change, as it is the value that appears the most times, which in this case is $2.99.

Notice that again, $4.49 is the largest value of the data set. So it would skew the data to the right (the largest values are on the right side).

Then the correct options are:

A and C.
