Which lists the steps in the correct order to find the median of this data set?
2 answers:
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.

Given:
Christopher scores 2 goals in a soccer game.
His goal total can vary from the average by 1 goal.
To find:
The absolute value equation can be used to calculate Christopher's maximum and minimum goals per game.
Solution:
Let Christopher scores x goals in a soccer game.
Then difference between actual goals and average goals is x-2.
His goal total can vary from the average by 1 goal.
Maximum number of goals = 2+1 = 3
Minimum number of goals = 2-1 = 1
It means, the difference between actual goals and average goals is either -1 and 1.
...(1)
...(2)
Using (1) and (2),we get
Therefore, the correct option is C.
