A group of 4 friends likes to golf together, and each friend keeps track of her all-time lowest score in a single round. Their low scores are all between 90 and 100, except for Angie, whose low score is 80.

Angie then golfs a great round and has a new low score of 75.

How will decreasing Angie’s low score affect the mean and median?

A - Both the mean and median will decrease.

B - The median will decrease, and the mean will stay the same.

C - The mean will decrease, and the median will stay the same.

D - The mean will decrease, and the median will increase.

The mean will decrease, and the median will stay the same.Step-by-step explanation:How does decreasing Angie's low score affect the median?The median is the mean of the 2nd and 3rd score when the low scores are put in order from least to greatest because there are 4 friends.Decreasing Angie's low score (the 1st low score) doesn't affect the 2nd or the 3rd  low score, so the median stays the same.How does decreasing Angie's low score affect the mean?Let's remember how to calculate the mean:mean=sum of low scores/number of friendsDecreasing Angie's low score from 80 to 75 decreases the sum of the low scores and doesn't change the number of friends, so the mean decreases.Thank you sunshinemadison101
