Question

The median height of 11 footballers is 1.85m.

Only one footballer has a height of 1.85m
How many footballers have a height under 1.85m

Answer 1

In a list of 11 footballers where the median height is 1.85m, there are 5 footballers with heights under 1.85m.

Step-by-step explanation:

The median height of 11 footballers is 1.85m, and only one footballer has a height of 1.85m. Since the median is the middle value in a sorted list of numbers, with 11 footballers, the 6th footballer (in ascending order) would be the one with the median height, which is 1.85m. Therefore, the first 5 footballers in the ordered list will have heights less than 1.85m.

To determine how many footballers have a height under 1.85m, we need to count all the positions before the median position, which in this case is the 6th position. Thus, there are 5 footballers with heights less than 1.85m.

Answer 2

5 footballers because if 1.85 is the median, or the middle number, there has to be five players above that height and 5 players below.
