Question

Sam watched television for the past five nights for 42 mins, 23 mins, 56mins,19 mins , and 67 mins what was the median amount sam watched TV for the past five nights

Answer 1

Answer:

42 minutes is the median amount of time

Step-by-step explanation:

The Median is the middle value of data set.

If there is "odd" number of numbers, and there are n numbers, the median is:

(n/2) + 1 th  number

If there is "even" number of numbers, and there are n numbers, the median is:

Average of n/2th and (n/2) + 1 th number

Here, we have 5 numbers, so the median would be:

(5/2) + 1 th number

That is

3rd number

But, we need to arrange the numbers from least to greatest. Lets write it:

19, 23, 42, 56, 67

The third number is 42, this is the median
