Example Question #478 : Data Analysis

Use the following data set to answer the question:

Find the median.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

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.

What is the median of the following data set?

First, put the data set in increasing order:

Now, our median will simply be the middle term. In this case, it is

It is 147, because there are six terms on either side of 147, making it the middle value

 

Example Question #484 : Data Analysis

Use the following data set to answer the question.

Find the median.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the median of a data set, we will first arrange the numbers in ascending order (from smallest to largest) and then we will locate the number in the center or the middle.

So, given the set

we will arrange them in ascending order.  We get

 

Now, we will locate the number that is in the center or the middle.  We can see that it is .

Therefore, the median of the data set is .

Example Question #485 : Data Analysis

Find the median of the following data set:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Find the median of the following data set:

Let's begin by ordering our data set from least to greatest.

Now, our median can be identified by looking at the number or pair of numbers in the middle of our set.

In this case, 45 is our median, because it is the middle value. There are 5 numbers to either side of it.
