Question

30, 45, 40, 37, 37, 40, 42, 38, 37, 42, 43, 38 Make a line plot of the data set. Find the median of the data set.

Answer 1

To find the median order your numbers from least to greatest so

30 37 37 37 38 38 40 40 42 42 43 45

now just cross out the end numbers until you get the number in the middle which is 38 and 40.

what you'd do if there is 2 medians you add them together and divide by 2 so 40+38 equals 78 then divided by 2 is 39.

answer is 39
