Step-by-step explanation:
We need to find the median of:-
73 75 87 65 69 62 81 64 68 101 74 71 89 87
First, we need to arrange the numbers in ascending order as below:-
62, 64, 65, 68, 69, 71, 73, 74, 75, 81, 87, 87, 89, 101
Since there are a total of 14 numbers, let's split it up into two halves (each of seven numbers)
62, 64, 65, 68, 69, 71, 73 ||| 74, 75, 81, 87, 87, 89, 101
The median would be the mean of the two middle numbers i.e. the mean of 73 and 74
Median =
=
= 73.5
So, about half of the students spent less than 73.5 minutes doing homework and about half spent more than 73.5 minutes on homework
