The stem and leaf plot shows the ages of a group of friends. Find the median age. Sam chew, leaf 8, stem three, leaf 1 2 4, stem 4, leaf 2 7 9, stem five, leaf four
To find the median age, we first need to organize the ages in ascending order:
31, 32, 34, 42, 47, 49, 54
Since there are 7 ages in the data set, the median will be the 4th age when arranged in ascending order, which in this case is 42.
Therefore, the median age of the group of friends is 42.
