Question

Describe and correct the error in finding the median of the data 63,55,49,58,50,59,51

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: Arrange your numbers in numerical order.

Count how many numbers you have.

If you have an odd number, divide by 2 and round up to get the position of the median number.

If you have an even number, divide by 2. Go to the number in that position and average it with the number in the next higher position to get the median.

Answer 2

$\huge\text{Hey there!}$

$\large\text{When you see or hear the word \underline{median} think of its asking you}\\\large\text{\underline{what number is in the MIDDLE?} or it’s asking for the \underline{middle number}}$

$\large\text{Some people can easily find the median by putting your given numbers}\\\large\text{from least (smallest) to greatest (biggest)}}$

$\large\text{49, 50, 51, 55, 58, 59, 63}$

$\large\text{Make sure that you have the SAME amount in each sides of your numbers}$

$\large\text{The median in this given set seems to \underline{55} because it has 3}\\\large\text {numbers on each sides of it.}$

$\boxed{\boxed{\large\text{Answer: \huge \bf 55}}}\huge\checkmark$

$\text{Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!}$
