Example Question #471 : Data Analysis
Find the median of this set of numbers:
First order the numbers from least to greatest:
Then identify the middle number:
Answer:
Example Question #472 : Data Analysis
What is the median of the set below?
The first step to finding the median is to rearrange the numbers in order from smallest to largest.
The median is the middle number of a set when the numbers of a set are ordered from smallest to largest.
The middle number of the set above, ordered from smallest to largest, is .4. Therefore, .4 is the correct answer.
Example Question #473 : Data Analysis
Shelly took five tests and quizzes this semester in school. If her grades were , , , , and , what is her median test score?
First, order the test scores from least to greatest:
Identify the middle test score:
Answer: Shelley's median test score is 92.
Example Question #474 : Data Analysis
Find the median of the following set of numbers:
To find the median, simply find the number in the middle, with equal quantities of numbers on either side after your list has been ordered from smallest to greatest.
Our dataset is already in ascending order and we have a total of seven entires. Therefore the middle of the set will lie where there are three entries to the left and three entries to the right.
Thus, our answer is 9.
Example Question #475 : Data Analysis
How would the median of the above set change if the is replaced by ?
It stays the same
It increases
Not enough information to find solution
It decreases
It stays the same
The median is the number that falls in the middle of a set when ordered by smallest to largest. The median is decided by placement among the other values and not a calculation. Since only the highest value is changed, the middle number will remain the same value.
Example Question #476 : Data Analysis
Find the median of the following data set:
Find the median of the following data set:
First, let's rearrange our numbers in increasing order:
Now, the median will simply be the term which is in the middle of our data set
So, our answer is 76
Example Question #477 : Data Analysis
Find the median of the following data set:
Find the median of the following data set:
First, let's put our set in increasing order:
Next, identify the median by identifying the term in the middle of our data set:
In this case, 45 is our median
Example Question #478 : Data Analysis
Find the median in this set of numbers:
To solve, order the numbers from least to greatest:
Then, identify the middle number:
Answer: The median is
Example Question #479 : Data Analysis
Use the following data set to answer the question:
Find the median.
To find the median of a data set, we must first arrange the set in ascending order. And then we must locate the number in the middle or center of the set.
So, firstly, we need to arrange them from smallest to largest (ascending order). So, in the data set
we will arrange them from smallest to largest. So,
Now, we will locate the number in the middle or center of the set. We can see the number is in the center of the set.
Therefore, is the median of the data set.
Example Question #480 : Data Analysis
Find the median in this set of numbers:
To solve, order the numbers from least to greatest:
Then, find the middle number:
Answer: The median is
