I apologize for any confusion. You are indeed correct. The accurate conclusion that can be drawn from the data is that the median of the data is 7 points.
The correct conclusion that can be drawn from the data is:
The team scored 84 total points.
To determine which conclusion is accurate, let's go through the data and calculate each of the statistics.
The data set is as follows: 2, 6, 12, 4, 0, 14, 12, 8, 9, 3, 5, 10.
1. Conclusion: There were 12 players on the team who scored points.
To verify this, we count the number of data points: 2, 6, 12, 4, 0, 14, 12, 8, 9, 3, 5, 10. There are indeed 12 data points, so this conclusion is accurate.
2. Conclusion: The median of the data is 7 points.
To find the median, we arrange the numbers in numerical order: 0, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 12, 14. Since there is an even number of data points, we take the average of the two middle values, which are 6 and 8. The median is, therefore, (6 + 8) / 2 = 7. This conclusion is also accurate.
3. Conclusion: The medians of the data are 12 and 14.
This conclusion is inaccurate because the median is a single value, not multiple values. In this data set, there is only one median, which is 7.
4. Conclusion: The team scored 84 total points.
To find the total points scored by the team, we sum up all the data points: 2 + 6 + 12 + 4 + 0 + 14 + 12 + 8 + 9 + 3 + 5 + 10 = 85. This means the team scored 85 points, not 84. Therefore, this conclusion is incorrect.
In summary, the accurate conclusions are:
- There were 12 players on the team who scored points.
- The median of the data is 7 points.
