Example Question #271 : Statistics And Probability

Consider the following set:

Find the median of the set.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the median of the set, we need to arrange the numbers from smallest to largest and find the number in the middle of the set.

In this case we can find that the median is .

Since there is an odd number of integers in this data set, there will be an even amount of integers to either side of the median.

Example Question #1696 : Algebra 1

What is the median of  and ?

 

 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

In order to find the median of a set of numbers, we must find identify the middle number of the set when all of the set's numbers are arranged in ascending or descending order. Given  and , we know that the ordered set is  and the median is therefore .

Example Question #1697 : Algebra 1

What is the median of 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

In order to find the median of a set of numbers, we must find identify the middle number of the set when all of the set's numbers are arranged in ascending or descending order. Given , we know that the ordered set is . Since we have an even number of terms, we must now take the middle two terms,  and , and average them in order to find the median:

.

Example Question #73 : How To Find Median

What is the median of ?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

In order to find the median of a set of numbers, we must find identify the middle number of the set when all of the set's numbers are arranged in ascending or descending order. Given , we know that the ordered set is  . Since we have two numbers in the middle of the set,  and , we must average the numbers to get the median, like so:

Example Question #271 : Statistics And Probability

What is the median of the following of numbers?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The median is the number in the middle once the set of numbers have been written in increasing order.

Thus, the median is .
