Question

This table shows the size in acres of four parks.

Answer 1

Answer:

  32 acres

Step-by-step explanation:

The median of an even-length set of numbers is the average of the middle two numbers when they are sorted into order. Here, the numbers are already in order, so the median is the average of the middle two:

  (30 acres + 34 acres)/2 = (64 acres)/2 = 32 acres

Answer 2

Answer:

The median of the sizes of the four parks is:

                         Option: C    33 acres.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given area of four parks as:

27 acres    30 acres      34 acres      49 acres.

We know that the median of a data is the central tendency of a data and always lie in between or middle of the data set.

Hence, here the median will lie between 30 and 34

and hence is calculated as:

$Median=\dfrac{30+34}{2}\\\\\\Median=\dfrac{64}{2}\\\\\\\\Median=32$

which is close to 33.

Hence, the median size of the park is:

                              33 acres.
