Question 16

A​ country's Energy Information Administration monitors all nuclear power plants operating in that country. The table below lists the number of active nuclear power plants operating in each of a sample of 10 states.

Question 20

The variance and the standard deviation must necessarily decrease in response to eliminating the largest value, the smallest value, or (especially) both the largest and smallest values of a dataset.

True

False

Answer 1

6:

Eliminating the largest and smallest data value gives the followng data set:

State	Number of Power Plants
1	5
2	5
3	9
4	8
5	4
6	4
8	3
10	3
Total	41

The mean of above data set is:

7:

A.) It decreases the mean, because the largest (as opposed to the smallest) value is more of an outlier
