Answer 1

C)265

Explanation:

To find the median you list all the numbers in order from least to greatest. The number in the middle is the median.

In this case there are two middle number so you have to add them together then devide them by 2.

700, 740, 810, 900, 1050, 1120.

810 + 900 = 1,710

1,710/2 = 855.

Your median is 855.

To find the difference you just subtract the two numbers.

1,120-855= 265.

Answer 2

First let's find the median. Median means middle. To do this you must first order the data from least to greatest:

700, 740, 810, 900, 1,050, 1,120

Now on each "level" remove the largest and the smallest number until you get to the middle number(s)

700, 740, 810, 900, 1,050, 1,120

740, 810, 900, 1,050

810, 900

Since there isn't exactly one number in the middle you must take the mean (average) of the two numbers left. To do this you must add the remaining numbers, 810 and 900, together then divide by 2

810 + 900 = 1,710

1,710 ÷ 2 = 855

The median of this data set is 855

This question asks what's the difference in calories at Riverside Diner (1,120 calories) and the median (855 calories). To solve this subtract 855 from 1,120:

1,120 - 855 = 265

The difference it 265 calories
