Question

Quinn mailed four postcards that each cost $0.25, five letters that each cost $0.44, two large envelopes that each cost $0.80, and one small package for $5.10. Which cost on the list of mailing fees on Quinn’s receipt would skew the mean? the cost of a postcard the cost of a letter the cost of a large envelope the cost of the small package

Answer 1

D. the cost of the small package

Answer 2

The cost of the small package

Explanation:

Cost of 1 postcards = $0.25

Cost of 4 postcards =
`0.25 * 4 =1`

Cost of 1 letter = $0.44

Cost of 5 letters =
`0.44 * 5 =2.2`

Cost of 1 large envelope = $0.80

Cost of 2 large envelopes =
`0.80 * 2 =1.6`

Cost of 1 small package =$5.10

Since the cost of small package is highest

So, It will increase the mean

So, the cost of the small package will skew the mean
