FIND THE MEDIAN OF THE FOLLOWING PROBLEM. ROUND TO THE NEAREST HUNDREADTH.
8,9,10,12,14,23,23,29,34,37
To find the median, you want to arrange the #s from least to greatest and remove a number from each side. If you do so, you'll find that you have the numbers 14 and 23 left in the middle. You then want to find the average of the two. Therefore you would do the following:
(23+24)/2
I'll let you figure out the answer.
Rounding to the nearest hundreadth means to 2 decimal places just in case you were unaware
Sorry, correction: (14+23)/2
THE MIDDLE IS 14 & 23 = 37/2 = 18.5 WHAT IS THE HUNDREADTH ????
the hundreadth value in this case would be zero
18.50
To find the median of a set of values, you need to arrange the values in ascending order first.
So, let's arrange the given numbers in ascending order:
8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 23, 23, 29, 34, 37
Next, we need to determine whether the number of values is odd or even. Since we have 10 values in this set, it is an even number.
For a set with an odd number of values, the median is simply the middle value. However, for a set with an even number of values, the median is calculated by taking the average of the two middle values.
In this case, the two middle values are 14 and 23. To find their average, add both numbers together and divide the sum by 2:
(14 + 23) / 2 = 37 / 2 = 18.5
Therefore, the median of the given set of values is 18.5 rounded to the nearest hundredth.
