The median of a data set is the 'middle number'. You can find the median by listing the given numbers from least to greatest (left to right) and finding the middle number.

8, 10, 10, 10, 11, 12, 14, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18

Cross one out on each side before getting to your last number that should be in the middle.

The middle numbers are: 12 and 14. If it was only one number, we could already have the answer, but since it is two numbers in the middle, we need to add them up and divide by 2.

12 + 14 = 26
26 ÷ 2 = 13

So, the median of the data set is: 13.

a language arts test is worth 100 points there is a total of 26 questions . there are spelling word questions that ae worth 2 po

natka813 [3]

10 question of spelling words and 16 questions of vocabulary are present

Solution:

Let "x" be the number of spelling word questions

Let "y" be the number of vocabulary word question

There is a total of 26 questions. Therefore, we get

number of spelling word questions + number of vocabulary word question = 26

x + y = 26 --------- eqn 1

There are spelling word questions that worth 2 points each and vocabulary word question worth 5 points each

The language arts test is worth 100 points

Therefore, we frame a equation as:

number of spelling word questions x 2 + number of vocabulary word question x 5 = 100

$x \times 2 + y \times 5 = 100$

2x + 5y = 100 --------- eqn 2

Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2

From eqn 1,

x = 26 - y ------- eqn 3

Substitute eqn 3 in eqn 2

2(26 - y) + 5y = 100

52 - 2y + 5y = 100

3y = 100 - 52

3y = 48

Substitute y = 16 in eqn 3

x = 26 - 16

Thus 10 question of spelling words and 16 questions of vocabulary are present

Answer:

x>3 but x<5 so x=4

4-3=1

4+2=6

4-5=-1

but |-1|=1
