E.g.1 Refer to E.g. 1 of B9.4.1.1.2. i. Find the mean of the data, if one of the bulbs is replaced with a new bulb with lifespan of 300 hours, find the new mean of the bulbs and compare it to the original mean ii. In small groups, find the mean of the data, if the lifespan of one of the bulbs tested was 70 hours, and compare it to the original mean. iii. Continue to replace the values of the lifespan in the data with extreme values (small and large), calculate the mean, median, and mode and discuss the findings.
