Question

Which lists the steps in the correct order to find the median of this data set?

Answer 1

You would first put the numbers in order because the numbers need to be in order whenever you are working with medians. I hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

Answer:

1. Put the numbers in order.

2. Cross off high/low pairs.

3. Add the leftover numbers.

4. Divide the sum by 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the median represent the middle value in a data which gives the center of the measure.

Whenever we calculate the median of a data the first step we need to follow is to arrange the a data in either ascending or descending order.

After that choose that center-most data value (in odd number of data value) or calculate the mean of the center-most 2 numbers ( if even) which will be the median of the  data.

Given data: 24, 16, 23, 30, 18, 29

Number of numbers = 6 (even)

1. Put the numbers in order.

16,18,23,24,29,30

2. Cross off high/low pairs., we left with the numbers :-

23,24

3. Add the leftover numbers.

23+24=47

4. Divide the sum by 2.

$\dfrac{47}{2}=23.5$
