given: the ages of the employee
to find: median of the ages.
Step-by-step explanation:
median: it is the number in group of ascending or descending numbers
so here first we will find the middle number
for that we are going to cancel one bigger and one smaller number one by one
for example in the given table the first number we have is 22 which is the smallest number and 65 which is the biggest number so we cancel that
now the next smaller and bigger numbers are 23 and 63 respectively that would get cancelled in the similar manner we move on so next we cancel 29 and 62
so after cancelling the numbers in similar manner the number with which we are left is 45
so that means that is the middle term or middle number of the table so that makes it a median
final answer: the median of the ages in this stem and leaf plot is 45.
