A back to back stem and leaf plot showing the points scored by each player on two different basketball teams is shown below:
Team 1 | | Team 2
8 7 4 | 0 | 2. 9
4 3 1 | 1 | 0 0 2 3 6
1 0 | 2 | 2
What is the median scored for each team?
A) Median for Team 1: 12
Median for Team 2: 10
B) Median for Team 1: 13.5
Median for Team 2: 12
C) Median for Team 1: 12
Median for Team 2: 11
D) Median for Team 1: 11
Median for Team 2: 10
So don't nobody know the answer?
what is the answer
i need help please
To find the median for each team, we need to identify the middle value in the dataset.
For Team 1, we can see that the stem values are 4, 7, and 8, and the leaf values range from 0 to 4. To find the median for Team 1, we need to count the number of scores.
In the stem-and-leaf plot for Team 1, we see nine scores. Since nine is an odd number, the median will be the middle value when the scores are listed in ascending order.
The sorted scores for Team 1 are: 0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 7. The middle value is 2, so the median for Team 1 is 2.
For Team 2, the stem values are 0, 1, and 2, and the leaf values range from 0 to 9. Similar to Team 1, we count the number of scores.
In the stem-and-leaf plot for Team 2, we see eight scores. Since eight is an even number, the median will be the average of the two middle values when the scores are listed in ascending order.
The sorted scores for Team 2 are: 0, 0, 0, 2, 2, 3, 6, 9. The two middle values are 0 and 2. To find the average, we add them and divide by 2: (0 + 2) / 2 = 1. Therefore, the median for Team 2 is 1.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
C) Median for Team 1: 2
Median for Team 2: 1
