Question

What is the median value of the data set shown on the line plot?

Answer 1

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the median, order the numbers from smallest to largest. Since this is already done, count how many x's there are. Then find the very center number or, if there is an even amount, the center two numbers.

There are 22 x's or pieces of data. Since 22 is an even number we will have to find the center two numbers which will be the 11th and 12th x. Both of these are the number 6 so your median will be 6.

[In some cases, the two center numbers won't always be the same number. If that happens, just add the two numbers together and divide by 2. You will have your median.

Ex: Say the center two numbers are 7 and 5.

You will add them together: 7 + 5 = 12

And then divide by 2: 12/2 = 6

Your median would be 6.]
