• Statistics (Mean, Median, Mode, Standard Deviation)
    Choice A

    We have two sets, with the terms ordered from the least to the largest:

    A=a1,a2,a3,a4,a5

    And

    B=b1,a2,a3,a4,a5

    And

    b1>a1

    Then the median (a3) will be same.

    Since b1>a1, the range of B (a5b1) < the range of A (a5a1).

    Since b1>a1,

    Mean of B=b1+a2+a3+a4+a55

    Mean of A=a1+a2+a3+a4+a55

    Mean of AMean of B=a1+a2+a3+a4+a5(b1+a2+a3+a4+a5)5

    =a1b15<0

    =>Mean of AMean of B<0

    Mean of A<Mean of B

    Only the mean must be greater for set B than for set A. Therefore A is correct.
