Dataset:

City A: 1.0, 1.2, 1.2, 1.3, 1.5, 1.6, 2.5, 4.8, 4.9, 5.3, 7.0, 7.7

City B: 7.4, 7.5, 7.6, 7.9, 8.0, 8.2, 9.0, 9.2, 9.8, 9.9, 10.0, 11.5

Determine the median monthly rainfall for each city.

What don't you understand about this problem?

I understand but what is the number between 1.6 and 2.5

Median = middle number in order

Take the average of 1.6 and 2.5.

(1.6 + 2.5)/2 = 4.1/2 = 2.05

thank you

You're welcome.

Next time, use a calculator.

To determine the median monthly rainfall for each city, we need to find the middle value in each dataset when they are sorted in ascending order.

For City A:

1. Sort the dataset in ascending order: 1.0, 1.2, 1.2, 1.3, 1.5, 1.6, 2.5, 4.8, 4.9, 5.3, 7.0, 7.7.

2. Since the dataset has an even number of values (12), we need to find the average of the two middle values: 1.5 and 1.6.

3. Add the two middle values and divide the sum by 2: (1.5 + 1.6) / 2 = 1.55.

So, the median monthly rainfall for City A is 1.55.

For City B:

1. Sort the dataset in ascending order: 7.4, 7.5, 7.6, 7.9, 8.0, 8.2, 9.0, 9.2, 9.8, 9.9, 10.0, 11.5.

2. Since the dataset has an odd number of values (12), the middle value is the median. In this case, it is 9.0.

So, the median monthly rainfall for City B is 9.0.
