C. Now suppose that the families of the other 5students whose values are greater than the median also move to newlocations so that each student's data value is twice as large asthe original data value. (The data values of the students less thanthe median do not change and the 6000 data value remains at 6000).Calculate the new mean and the new median.

D. Suppose now that the 6 students whose datavalues are less than the median also move to new locations so thateach student's data value is half as large as the original datavalue. (Note that half of 0 is 0; all the data values greater thanthe median keep the same new values from question 3). Calculate thenew mean and the new median.
