3.
The same five students are preparing to take a second test. Suppose that the
data were the same except that Ben studied 2.5 hours for the second test (1.5
hours more) and Emma studied only 3 hours for the second test (1.5 hours less.)
Without doing any calculations, is the mean for the second test the same,
higher, or lower than the mean for the first test? Explain your reasoning
