Question

A climatologist wants to determine the thickness of a glacier with a surface area of about 2 km². He selected 10 locations at random on the glacier and then measured the thickness of the glacier, in meters, at each location. 41, 38, 36, 29, 34, 44, 46, 43, 35, 40 What is the estimated median thickness of the entire glacier? Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

The median thickness of the entire glacier is calculated with the arranging the given dimensions of the thickness from least to highest. 
                             29, 34, 35, 36, 38, 40, 41, 43, 44, 46
The middle tern is the 5th and 6th terms which are equal to 38 and 40. Average of this cool is still 39.
