What is the median of Variable B?
Scatter plot on a first quadrant coordinate grid. The horizontal axis is labeled Variable A. The vertical axis is labeled Variable B. Points are plotted at (two, two), (two, eight), (four, three), (five, one), (six, three), (seven, five), (eight, six), (nine, two).
I do not know how to solve for this can you please help me?
To find the median of Variable B in the given scatter plot, you need to follow these steps:
1. Identify the values of Variable B from the given scatter plot points. In this case, the values of Variable B are 2, 8, 3, 1, 3, 5, 6, and 2.
2. Arrange these values in ascending order. The arrangement will be 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 5, 6, 8.
3. Find the middle value or values in the arranged list. Since there are 8 values in total, the middle value(s) will be at the (8 + 1) / 2 = 4.5th position.
Since 4.5 is not a whole number, we take the average of the values at the 4th and 5th positions, which are 2 and 3.
Therefore, the median of Variable B is (2 + 3) / 2 = 2.5.
So, the median of Variable B in the given scatter plot is 2.5.
