Question

A team's scores for ten basketball games are 46, 42, 43, 44, 42,40,42,44, and 43. Jason says that more than half of the values of any data set are above the median. Is he correct? Explain.

Answer 1

Wrong. The median is 50%

Answer 2

He is incorrect because the median is the 50% point. The numbers above it are only 50% of the total amount of numbers, not more not less.
