Answer: Option 'D' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

The amount of money everyone spends buying snacks each month has a mean of $38.

[tex]Mean=\dfrac{\text{Sum of observations }}{\text{Total number of observartions}}[/tex]

It means that average amount of money spend by everyone is $38.

If the amount spent on snacks per month by all his classmates is leveled, that amount would be $38.

So, if some one paid more amount than $38, whereas some one paid less amount than $38.

It will be nullify by leveling the amount by all his classmate while calculating the mean.

So, Option 'D' is correct.
