Question

Find the median of the following frequency distribution

Answer 1

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

First right out all the data in numerical order from left to right.

2, 2, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7

The median is the middle number in the set.  If there is an even amount of data points, find the average of the two middle numbers.  If there is an odd number of data points, like in this data set, just take the middle number as you median.

There are 7 data points in this set so the fourth number in the set written in numerical order would be your median.

When writing this set out in numerical order, repeated numbers must be repeated, we find that the fourth, or middle, number is 3.  Therefore, 3 is the median of this data set.
