Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean & median of 6 packages:

15, 17, 19, 31, 33 , 35

Median =  [tex]\frac{19+31}{2}[/tex]

            = [tex]\frac{50}{2}[/tex]

           = 25

[tex]Mean = \frac{15+17+19+31+33+35}{6}\\\\=\frac{150}{6}\\=25[/tex]

Mean & median of 7 packages:

15,17,19,31,33,35,39

Median = 31

[tex]Mean=\frac{19+15+35+17+33+31+39}{7}\\\\=\frac{189}{7}\\\\=27[/tex]

After including 39 ounce package, Median will increase more
