The Median Is The Number That Separates Top Half Of The Number Set From The Bottom
Ex: 1, 1, 2, 5, 6, 6, 9
Median - 5
Explanation: 5 is the number in the exact middle that is separating the bottom half of the number set (1, 1, 2) from the top half of the number set (6, 6, 9).
Ex: 1, 1, 2, 6, 6, 9
Median - 4
Explanation: 4 is the mean of 2 and 6. (Mean = Sum / Numbers you are adding up)
===========================
22, 37, 49, 15, 72
Order numbers from least to greatest:
15, 22, 37, 49, 72
37 is the mean because it is in the exact middle and separates 15 and 22 from 49 and 72.
First we need to know how many months is 2 years. To answer that we multiply the number of months in a year by 2 and get 48 months.
Every 3 months the population of turtles doubles, but to get how many times the population doubles, you need to divide 48 months by 3 to get 16.
So population of 400 will get <u>doubled</u> 16 times in the following <u>two</u> years.
We construct the following equation where is the final population,
Hope this helps. :)
