a. Describe the shape of the and record the value of the mean and median. On the basis of the shape of the do the mean and median have the relationship that you would expect?
b. Replace the extreme value of 0 with 2, then 4, and then 6. Record the mean and median each time. Describe what is happening to the mean as 0 is replaced, in turn, by the higher numbers stated. What is happening to the median? How is the difference between the mean and the median changing?
c. Now replace 0 with 8. What values does the applet give you for the mean and the median? Explain why the mean and the median should now be the same.
