Question

The median of a group of individuals’ BMIs whose BMIs are 20.47, 21.92, 23.32, 23.41, 25.7, and 30.1 is approximately ___.

Answer 1

The median is the middle number in a set of ordered numbers. Ordered from least to greatest, the middle numbers are 23.32 and 23.41. Because there are two, we add 23.32 and 23.41 and divide it by two. 23. 32 + 23.41 = 46.73 / 2 = 23.365. So approximately 23.37. Hope this helps!
