25,28,22,27,25,20,30,23,27, and 29
Of the above numbers which one is the median ?
I said 26
if you have an odd number of data values, the median in the middle number after you have arranged them in order.
If the number of data values is even then the median is the average of the two middle numbers after arranging them in order.
So you are correct.
I don't see 26 in the set of numbers. Because you don't have a middle number in the set, median is often taken to be the mean of the two middle numbers, and in this case, the two middle numbers are 25 and 27, and the mean of those is 26. So it boils down to how median is defined for you. Check your notes, or your texts. Texts vary on the definition of median when the set of numbers has no unique median.
There is a bus with 7 children inside of it
Each child has 7 rucksacks
In each rucksack there are 7 big cats
Every big cat has 7 small cats
Everything listed above is entirely in the bus
All objects are unique
There is no driver
Every child has 2 legs
Every cat has 4 legs
QUESTION:
How many legs are in the bus?
6,10,10,22,42,45,45
To find the median of a set of numbers, you need to arrange them in ascending order first. Let's arrange the numbers you provided in ascending order:
20, 22, 23, 25, 25, 27, 27, 28, 29, 30
Now, to determine the median, you need to find the middle number. In this case, there are 10 numbers, so there is no single middle number. Instead, you need to average the two middle numbers.
The two middle numbers in this case are 25 and 27. Therefore, to find the median, you add them together and divide by 2:
(25 + 27) / 2 = 52 / 2 = 26
So, your answer of 26 is indeed correct. Well done! The median of the given set of numbers is 26.
