Answer 1

Given :

Number of paintings Adrian created each month for the last year are :

4, 5, 2, 1, 0, 3, 2, 4, 3, 2, 7, 5 .

To Find :

The median of the set of data .

Solution :

To find the median we should arrange the numbers in ascending order .

So , 0, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 7 .

Now , median for odd is the middle term but for even numbers it is the average of middle two terms .

So ,

$Median =\dfrac{3+3}{2}\\\\Median =3$

Therefore , the median of the set of data is 3 .

Hence , this is the required solution .
