The results are listed below. 2 5 6 7 9 11 12 14 14 15 17 19 21 22 23 24 27 32 35 39 39 44 47 53 60 61 82 85 88 90 93 96 101 103 114 125 What is the median number of jumps that the students made before missing? a. 32.5 c. 33.5 b. 33 d. 34

Answer 1

There are 36 people. The number is even, so your answer will not be one of the results. 36/2=18. The 18 and 19 values are 32 and 35.(32+35)/2=33.5. The answer is c).

Answer 2

33.5 because you would cross the numbers out until you got to the middle of the number sequence.
