How can one determine the median of a data set?

Mathematics

rjkz [21]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The median value on a data set is the value that accumulates 50% of the values at its left and the other 50% at its right. In other words, it is the value that divides the data set in two halves. Lets see each option and find this value:

B: By doing it we are finding the mode, the value that is repeated most. This is incorrect!

C: By doing this we are finding the mean, the average or the arithmetic mean. This is incorrect!

D: This gives us the range, not the median. This is incorrect!

Finally, A is correct, as this is what we said at the beginning of the text. Ordering the values and finding the one the splits the data set in 2 equal parts is the median.

miv72 [106K]
From the very beginning, each door had a 1/3 probability chance to be holding the grand prize. And the fact that she saw the consolation prize behind one of them does not change this probability.
From the beginning, all doors had equal chances.

Based on this, the answer to your question would be:
She could either accept or not accept the host's offer <span>because the probabilities of the three doors were equal from the beginning.</span>
