Question

By how much would the median increase if the number 9 were added to the set?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Our set numbers: 6, 8, 6, 7, 3, 2, 7, 4, 3, 1

Order: 1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 6, 6, 7, 7, 8

Median: (4 + 6) / 2 = 5

The number 9 was added to the set

Order: 1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 6, 6, 7, 7, 8, 9

Median: 6

How much would the median increase if the number 9 was added to the set?
