Answer:

median = 17.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The median is the middle value of a data set arranged in ascending order. If there is not a middle value then the median is the average value of the numbers either side of the middle.

Data in ascending order is

8, 15, 17, 18, 19, 21

The median is between 17 and 18, hence

median = $\frac{17+18}{2}$ = 17.5

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The median is the value that separates the higher half from the bottom half of the data sample (middle value).

We have

15, 8, 19, 21, 18, 17

Write from the smallest to the largest number

8, 15, 17, 18, 19, 21

We have an even number of numbers. Therefore we calculate the arithmetic mean of the two middle numbers:

8, 15, 17, 18, 19, 21

(17 + 18) : 2 = 35 : 2 = 17.5

The human body has a normal temperature of 98.6°F. Doctors will get worried if a sick patient has a temperature that varies from

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

$|T- 98.6| \geq 3$

And in order to solve this we have two possibilities:

Solution 1

$T -98.6 \leq -3$

And solving for T we got:

$T \leq 98.6- 3$

$T\leq 95.6$

Solution 2

And the other options would be:

$T -98.6 \geq 3$

$T \geq 101.6$

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we can define the variable os interest T as the real temperature and we know that if we are 3 F more than the value of 98.6 we will be unhealthy so we can set up the following equation:

$|T- 98.6| \geq 3$

And in order to solve this we have two possibilities:

Solution 1

$T -98.6 \leq -3$

And solving for T we got:

$T \leq 98.6- 3$

$T\leq 95.6$

Solution 2

And the other options would be:

$T -98.6 \geq 3$

$T \geq 101.6$
