Find a sample size for which the median will always equal one of the values in the sample

Mathematics

irina [24]3 years ago

Answer:

Any odd sample size, larger than 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the median to find the "middle" value of a sample, that is, the value separating the lower half from the upper half of the sample.

If the size of the sample is even

1,2,3,4

Both the upper half and the lower half should have the same size.

In this case, it is not possible to select only one value which respects this condition. So the mean between 2 and 3 = 2.5 is calculated. This value is not part of the sample.

If the size of the sample is odd

1,2,3,4,5

For a n-sized sample, with n odd, the median is the value at the position (n+1)/2. So her, it is 3, the value at the third position. In this case, it is always going to be an element at a position in the sample, that is, an element of the sample.

Adam cut a piece of string 42 inches long into 2 pieces. The ratio of the length of the 2 peices is 3:4, what is the length, to
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

Shorter piece length is 18 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's marked first piece with x and second with y

x + y = 42

Given ratio is x : y = 3 : 4

From this proportion we get

x = 3 c  and y = 4 c   where c is coefficient of proportionality

when we replace this in initial equation we get

3 c + 4 c = 42 => 7 c = 42 => c = 42/7 = 6    c = 6

x = 3 · 6 = 18 inches  and z = 4 · 6 = 24 inches

shorter piece is x = 18 inches

God with you!!!
