12. Example 3 The average weight in pounds of several breeds of dogs is listed below. 15, 45, 26, 55, 15, 30 If the average weight of the Golden Retriever, 70, is added to this list, which of the following statements would be true? AThe mode would increase. BThe median would decrease. CThe median would increase. DThe mean would decrease.

13. Example 3 Read the Item You are asked to identify which statement would be true if the data value 70 was added to the data set. Solve the Item Use number sense to eliminate possibilities. The mode, 15, will remain unchanged since the new data value occurs only once. So, eliminate choice A. Since the new data value is greater than each value in the data set, neither the mean nor the median will decrease. So, eliminate choices B and D. Answer: So, the answer is C.
