Question

Find the median for the scores: 93, 70, 72, 81, 72, 95, 87, 74, 72, 89, 89, 96, 73, 78.The medianIS

Answer 1

Given the data set:

93, 70, 72, 81, 72, 95, 87, 74, 72, 89, 89, 96, 73, 78

Let's find the median.

The median is the middle number after arranging the numbers in ascending order(from lowest to highest).

Arranging in ascending order, we have:

70, 72, 72, 72, 73, 74, 78, 81, 87, 89, 89, 93, 95, 96

Here, we have two middle numbers:

78 and 81

Since we have two middle numbers.

The median will be the average of the two middle numbers.

Hence, we have:

`\begin{gathered} (78+81)/(2) \\ \\ =(159)/(2) \\ \\ =79.5 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the median is 79.5

ANSWER:

79.5
