The following statistics were calculated for money spent weekly on food: mean = $31.52; median $30.00; interquartile range = $34.00; standard deviation = $21.60; range = $132.50.

The value of the median decreases, the value of the mean stays the same. B. The values of the median and mean both decrease. C.
