Her monthly average would have decreased by $19.57 and it can be determined by using taking the average value of every month.
Given that,
Katie works as a waitress and records her monthly tips in the table shown below.
June, July, August, September, October, November
$133.45, $235.31, $239.45, $258.87, $298.45, $115.67
If Katie decided not to work the month of November,

According to the question,
Katie works as a waitress and records her monthly tips in the table below.
June, July, August, September, October, November
$133.45, $235.31, $239.45, $258.87, $298.45, $115.67
To find out how not working in November would affect the average of Katie's tips.
The average of her working June until October only.
[tex]\rm Average = \dfrac{133.45 + 235.31 +239.45 + 258.87 + 298.45}{5}\\\\Average =\dfrac{ 1165.53 }{ 5}\\\\Average = 233.10[/tex]
Then, The average is with the month of November is,
[tex]\rm Average = \dfrac{133.45 + 235.31 +239.45 + 258.87 + 298.45 + 115.67}{6}\\\\Average =\dfrac{ 1281.2 }{ 6}\\\\Average = 213.53[/tex]
Therefore,
On comparing the average of her five-month average to her six-month average for monthly tips is,
[tex]233.10 - 213.53 = 19.57[/tex]
The average will decrease because 213.53 is less than 233.10.
Therefore, Her average will decrease by $19.57.
