Deleting the amount spent of $75.58 would reduce the mean.

What is mean?

Mean is the average of a set of numbers. It is determined by adding the numbers together and dividing it by the total number

Mean = sum of the numbers / total number

What is the change in the mean ?

Old Mean =  ($32.92+  $14.14 + $30.80+  $28.34 +  $75.58 + $36.33 +  $33.51 + $22.94) / 8  

274.56 / 8 = 34.32

New Mean =  ($32.92+  $14.14 + $30.80+  $28.34 + $36.33 +  $33.51 + $22.94) / 8  

= 198.98 / 7= $28.4
