How can one determine the median of a data set?

Mathematics
1 answer:
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.

Y = 2x + 9 + x<br>is this equation linear or nonlinear?​
Volgvan

Answer:

Linear

Step-by-step explanation:

Add  2 x  and  x . y = 3 x + 9  A linear equation is an equation of a straight line, which means that the degree of a linear equation must be  0  or  1  for each of its variables. In this case, the degree of variable  y  is  1  and the degree of variable  x  is  1 .
