Question

Eceived at each shelter every month. This box-and-whisker plot shows the results. 400 600 800 1,000 Monthly food donations What is the median? cans

Answer 1

The median of the given data is 700.

Explanation:

We are given the following data in the question:

400, 600, 800, 1000

Formula:

`Median:\\\text{If n is odd, then}\\\\Median = \displaystyle(n+1)/(2)th ~term \\\\\text{If n is even, then}\\\\Median = \displaystyle((n)/(2)th~term + ((n)/(2)+1)th~term)/(2)`

Median =

`(2^(nd)+3^(rd))/(2) = (600+800)/(2) = 700`

Thus, the median of the given data is 700.
