Question

Calculate the median of the following data 18, 24, 55, 59, 34, 39, 22, 32, 57, If 55 is replaced by 33, calculate the new median

Answer 1

34, and if 55 was replaced with 33, the new median would be 33.

Explanation:

The median is the number that is in the middle of a data set, once the numbers are organized from least to greatest. If we put the numbers in order (18, 22, 24, 32, 34, 39, 55, 57, 59), the number in the middle is 34. If we do the same, but replace 55 with 33, (18, 22, 24, 32, 33, 34, 39, 57, 59), we get 33 as the median.

Answer 2

The median with the number how they are and not being replaced is 37.7 with the 55 being replaced with 33 the new median is 35.3
