Question

What is the median weight of the mice ?

carrie records the weight s , in ounces , of 8 mice for a science project in the list

below . what is the median weight of the mice ?

⇔ 0.71 , 0.66 , 0.63 , 0.73 , 0.70 , 0.68 , 0.66 , 0.66 ⇔

Answer 1

answer : the median is 0.67

0.71 , 0.66 , 0.63 , 0.73 , 0.70 , 0.68 , 0.66 , 0.66

first you would arrange it from least to greatest :

0.63, 0.66, 0.66, 0.66, 0.68, 0.7, 0.71, 0.73

Since you have an even set of numbers you take the two numbers in the middle and find out which number is exactly in between those, so in this case it would be 0.67

hope this helped =)

Answer 2

Answer: 0.66

Explanation:

The median is the MIDDLE NUMBER of a group of numbers.
Grouping the mice weights in order from least to greatest can help solve the problem quickly.

-> 0.63, 0.66, 0.66, 0.66, 0.68, 0.7, 0.71, and 0.73.

After that, you cross out each of the numbers starting with 0.63 and 0.73 going toward the middle, to get the odd one out, which is 0.66.

So, 0.66 is the median weight of the mice.
