Answer 2

Option d: Yes, Jacob is correct. The median amount he makes is $84.00 in a day.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that Jacob's daily tips for week are $99, $78, $58, $91, $90, and $68.

We need to determine the median of how much money he makes in daily tips.

Thus, to determine the median, first let us arrange the tips in ascending order.

Ascending order: $58, $68, $78, $90, $91 and $99

Since, the group is an even number of terms, let us add the two middle terms and divide by 2.

Median =
`(78+90)/(2) =84`

Thus, the median is 84.

Hence, The median amount Jacob makes is $84.00 in a day.

Thus, Option d is the correct answer.
