1.5 pounds (meaning that the scale weighed items 1.5 pounds more). What should be the
summary measures, mean and standard deviation, for the subjects consuming the new food?
The mean should be 11.3 and the standard deviation should remain unchanged.
When a set of data has suspect outliers, which of the following is the referred measure of central
tendency?
