The box plot represents the distribution of the number of children in 30 different familes. Box plot from 0 to 12 by 1’s. Number of children. Whisker from 0 to 1. Box from 1 to 3 with vertical line at 2. Whisker from 3 to 12.
After further examination, the value of 12 is removed for having been recorded in error. The box plot represents the distribution of the same data set, but with the maximum, 12, removed.

Box plot from 0 to 12 by 1’s. Number of children. Whisker from 0 to 1. Box from 1 to 3 with vertical line at 2. Whisker from 3 to 6.
The median is 2 children for both plots.

PART A
Explain why the median remains the same when 12 was removed from the data set.
because 2 was the most common number, and was in the middle and 12 was the outlier

PART B
When 12 is removed from the data set, does mean remain the same? Explain your reasoning.
