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.

Rule (a^b)(a^c)=a^(b+c)

(3.64)(10^(6+3))

3.64(10^9)

3.64X10^9 ft

Technically we only had two significant figures and the answer should be:

3.6X10^9  if we were to express our answer to the correct number of significant figures....

∆GHI is an isosceles triangle with a vertex angle H <br> If the m∠H=80°, then find the m∠I.
ehidna [41]

Given :

∆GHI is an isosceles triangle with a vertex angle H.

m∠H=80°

To Find :

The m∠I.

Solution :

Since, H is the vertex angle.

So, m∠I = m∠G = x

We know, by angle sum property of triangle :

m∠I + m∠G + m∠H = 180°

2x + 80° = 180°

x = 50°

Therefore, m∠I = 50° .
