Question

Sami took six quizzes in science class. The grades for the quizzes are 86, 92, 79, 96, 80, and 95. What is the median grade?

Answer 1

Answer:

The Median will be 89

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the median we first put the data in ascending form which will be 79,80,86,92,95,96

Then we find the middle number in case the data is odd. Since the data is even in our case so we will find the average of the middle two which are 86 and 92

So (86+92)/2 = 89

So the median is 89

Answer 2

Answer:

The median grade would be 89

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the median, first put the numbers all in ascending order.

79, 80, 86, 92, 95, 96

Now isolate the middle term or terms. Since there is an even amount of numbers, we pick the two in the middle. To find the median, we take an average of those terms.

(86 + 92)/2 = 89
