Question

[I NEED ANSWER ASAP] What is the median quiz score

Answer 1

The median is the value which is in the middle of the data set.

The values are 3, 4.5, 6.5, 8, 8.5, 10

Since 6.5 and 8 are in the middle, we have to take the average of both of them

6.5 + 8 = 14.5

14.5 / 2 = 7.25

The median is 7.25

Answer 2

$\text{ Hello there! :)}$

$\boxed{Mean = 6.75}$

$\boxed{Median = 7.25}$

$\text{Solving for the mean:}$

$\text{To solve for the mean, add up the scores and divide by the number of scores:}$

$(3 + 4.5 + 6.5 + 8 + 8.5 + 10)/ 6 = 6.75 = \text{ the mean}$

$\text{Solving for the median:}$

$\text{Find the middle number when listing the scores from least to greatest}$

$3, 4.5, 6.5, 8, 8.5, 10 \\\\\text{There are two middle numbers, so find the average of them:}\\\\(6.5 + 8) / 2 = 7.25 = \text{ median}$
