Question

Sort the data from the least to the greatest and find the Medina number of spills.1, 2, 4,4,9,2

Answer 1

Given the data below

`1,2,4,4,9,2`

Statement of Problem: Sort the data from the least to the greatest, then find the median.

In other to achieve this, the least number from the data provided is 1 and the greatest is 9.

The sorting of the data from the least to the greatest is as shown below:

`1,2,2,4,4,9`

There are 6 numbers in the data provided. The median is the average of the third and fourth numbers.

The third and the fourth numbers are 2 and 4 as shown above. The median would then be

`(2+4)/(2)=(6)/(2)=3`

Hence, sorting the given data from the least to the greatest is

1, 2, 2, 4, 4, 9

and the median number is 3
