Example Question #114 : How To Find Median

Find the median of the following dataset: $[\frac{8}{3}, \frac{12}{7}, \frac{9}{5}]$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{8}{3}$

$\textup{There is no median.}$

$\frac{12}{7}$

$\frac{9}{5}$

$\textup{All the numbers are the median.}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{9}{5}$

Explanation:

In order to determine the median, we need to rearrange the set in chronological order from least to greatest.

Change all fractions to their least common denominator. This can easily be done by multiplying all three numbers together.

$3\times 7\times 5 = 105$

Convert all the fractions. What was multiplied to get the denominator for each fraction must be also multiplied to the numerator.

$[\frac{8}{3}, \frac{12}{7}, \frac{9}{5}] = [\frac{280}{105},\frac{180}{105},\frac{189}{105}]$

We can then rearrange the fractions from least to greatest.

$[ \frac{12}{7}, \frac{9}{5},\frac{8}{3}]$

The median is: $\frac{9}{5}$

Example Question #112 : How To Find Median

Find the median of the following data set:

1, 3, 6, 4, 1, 6, 1, 7, 11

Possible Answers:

4.4

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The median of a data set is the number that appears in middle of center of the set when it is written in ascending order. Given the data set

1, 3, 6, 4, 1, 6, 1, 7, 11

we will write it in ascending order. We get

1, 1, 1, 3, 4, 6, 6, 7, 11

The number that appears in the middle or center is the number 4. Therefore, the median is 4.

Example Question #113 : How To Find Median

Find the median of the following data set:

4, 2, 7, 8, 8, 2, 8, 10, 7

If necessary, round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the median of a data set, you arrange the numbers in ascending order and locate the number that is in the center. So, given the data set

4, 2, 7, 8, 8, 2, 8, 10, 7

we will write it in ascending order, giving us

2, 2, 4, 7, 7, 8, 8, 8, 10

and locate the number in the center of the list. In this case, the number 7 is in th emiddle of the list, so 7 is the median.

Example Question #116 : How To Find Median

Find the median of the dataset: [-0.6, -0.02, 1, -0.06]

Possible Answers:

-0.04

-0.02

0.04

-0.31

$\textup{The median does not exist.}$

Correct answer:

-0.04

Explanation:

Reorganize the dataset from least to greatest.

$[-0.6, -0.02, 1, -0.06] \rightarrow [-0.6,-0.06, -0.02, 1]$

The median is the average of the middle two numbers.

Average the two numbers.

$\frac{-0.06+(-0.02)}{2}=\frac{-0.08}{2} = -0.04$

The median is: -0.04
