Car salesman sells cars with prices ranging from $5,000 to $45,000. The histogram shows the distribution of the numbers of cars he expects to sell over the next

10 years.

The salesman has observed that many students are looking for cars that cost less

than $5,000. If he decides to also deal in cars that cost less than $5,000 and projects selling 200 of them over the next 10 years, how will the distribution be affected?

The mean will shift to the right.

The mean and the median will be the same.

The median will shift to the right.

The mean will shift to the left.

I think it's B
