Question

What is the median of Variable B? Scatter plot on a first quadrant coordinate grid. The horizontal axis is labeled Variable

a. The vertical axis is labeled Variable
b. Points are plotted at (two, two), (two, eight), (four, three), (five, one), (six, three), (seven, five), (eight, six), (nine, two). I'm really confused can you please help me

Answer 1

Variable A - horizontal axis ⇒ xVariable B - vertical axis ⇒ y
points (x, y) A B1) 2 , 22) 2 , 83) 4 , 34) 5 , 15) 6 , 36) 7 , 5 7) 8 , 68) 9 , 2

Median of a set of data is the middlemost number in the set. We need to arrange the numbers in order from least to greatest and find the middlemost number of the set.

B = 2, 8, 3, 1, 3, 5, 6, 2

There are 8 numbers that we need to arrange in order.

1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 5, 6, 8

Since the data set is even. We need to look for the middle two numbers and find its average.

3 + 3 = 6
6 ÷ 2 = 3 IS THE MEDIAN of Variable B.
