Question

What is the median of the data set given below?

Answer 1

Answer:

19

Step-by-step explanation:

The median is the middle value of the data in ascending order. If there is no exact middle then it is the average of the two values either side of the middle.

Arrange in ascending order

12, 15, 15, 18, 20, 29, 33, 42

The middle is between 18 and 20

median = $\frac{18+20}{2}$ = $\frac{38}{2}$ = 19

Answer 2

Answer:

19

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey diddle diddle the medians in the middle you add then divide for the mean. the mode is the one that appears the most and the range is the difference in between.

Median: you have to organize the numbers from least to greatest then eliminate one by one.

12, 15, 15, 18, 20, 29, 33, 42

eliminate 12, and 42

15, 15, 18, 20, 29, 33

eliminate 15, and 33 ... so on

once you get to the median you end up with two numbers.

18, 20

because you can only have one median you find the number between, which in this case would be 19
