B. Both the mean and the median will decrease, but the median will decrease by more than the mean.
C.Both the mean and the median will increase, but the mean will increase by more than the median.
D.Both the mean and the median will increase, but the median will increase by more than the mean.

Widget Sales
Jesaki Inc. is trying to enter the widget market. The research department established the following
price-demand, cost, and revenue functions:
p(x) = 60 - 1.20x
C(x) = 210 + 12x
Cost function
|R(x) = xp(x) = x(60 - 1.20x) Revenue function
Price-demand function
where a is in thousands of widgets and C(x) and R(x) are in thousands of dollars. The price p(x)
is the price in dollars of one widget when the demand is a thousand widgets. All three functions
have domain 1 ≤ x ≤ 50.

- The pH of a liquid is a measure of its acidity or alkalinity. Pure water was a pH of 7, which is neutral. Solutions with a pH less than 7 are acidic while solutions with a pH greater than 7 are alkaline. A biologist was interested in testing the purity of lake water in Florida. A random sample of 58 lakes was taken, and the pH of water in each lake was recorded. The sample of lakes had an average pH of 6.567 with a standard deviation of 1.861. Using a significance level of 0.01, is there evidence the mean pH of Florida lakes is not neutral? What hypotheses should be tested?
