How do you answer a median age in a stem and leaf plot
To find the median age in a stem and leaf plot, follow these steps:
1. Write down all the data points in the stem and leaf plot in order from smallest to largest.
2. Count the total number of data points in the stem and leaf plot.
3. Determine the position of the median by dividing the total number of data points by 2. If the total number of data points is odd, the median will be at the (n+1)/2 position. If the total number of data points is even, the median will be the average of the (n/2) and (n/2)+1 positions.
4. Locate the data point at the position determined in step 3 to find the median age in the stem and leaf plot.
