Question

Question 1: Select one answer. 10 points This histogram shows the times, in minutes, required for 25 rats in an animal behavior experiment to successfully navigate a maze. _u2_summarizing_data/_m1_examining_distributions/webcontent/image500.png Assume that the largest observation in this dataset is 8.6 minutes. If this observation were wrongly recorded as 86, then what would happen to the mean and median? A) Neither the mean nor the median would change. B) Both the mean and the median would change. C) The mean would stay the same, but the median would change. D) The mean would decrease, but the median would not change. E) The mean would increase, but the median would not change.
