Consider a data set consisting of 43 different numbers. If the smallest data value is decreased by one unit, then the sample mean will decrease and the sample median will decrease. If the smallest data value is decreased by one unit, then the sample mean will decrease and the sample median will stay the same. If the smallest data value is decreased by one unit, then the sample mean will stay the same and the sample median will decrease. If the smallest data value is decreased by one unit, then the sample mean will stay the same and the sample median will stay the same.
