Question

Titus has collected a set of data and calculated the median to be 29. The set contains 75 numbers, but Titus gets an email telling him to add the following 6 numbers to his data: 23, 26, 26, 30, 33, 40

Answer 1

Answer:

option B. 29

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is

What is the new median for his data?

A) 28

B) 29

C) 30

D) 31

we know that

The median is the "middle" value in the list of numbers. To find the median, the numbers have to be listed in numerical order from smallest to largest.

In this problem we have

23, 26, 26, 30, 33, 40

so

Re-arrange in ascending order

23, 26, 26, 29, 30, 33, 40

Remember that Median is the midpoint value in the data set

so

The median of the 6 additional numbers is 29

therefore

The new Median for the data is still 29.
