Find the median of the data set: 56, 60, 60, 40, 60, 75, 40, 25, 53, 34, 62, 76
First, we need to put the data set in order from least to greatest:
25, 34, 40, 40, 53, 56, 60, 60, 60, 62, 75, 76
There are 12 numbers in the set, so the median will be the average of the middle two numbers:
(53 + 56)/2 = 54.5
Therefore, the median of this data set is 54.5.
To find the median of a data set, we need to arrange the numbers in ascending order:
25, 34, 40, 40, 53, 56, 60, 60, 60, 62, 75, 76
Now, we determine the middle value(s). Since this data set contains an even number of values (12), there are two middle values - 53 and 56. To find the median, we can take the average of these two middle values.
Median = (53 + 56) / 2
Median = 109 / 2
Median = 54.5
Therefore, the median of the given data set is 54.5.
To find the median of a data set, you need to arrange the numbers in order from smallest to largest and then find the middle number. If there is an odd number of data points, the median is the middle number. If there is an even number of data points, the median is the average of the two middle numbers.
Let's arrange the data set in order:
25, 34, 40, 40, 53, 56, 60, 60, 60, 62, 75, 76
Since there are 12 numbers in the data set, there is no single middle number. Instead, we will find the average of the two middle numbers, which are the 6th and 7th numbers in the dataset: 60 and 60.
To find the average, we add the two numbers together and divide by 2:
(60 + 60) / 2 = 120 / 2 = 60
Therefore, the median of the given data set is 60.
