Price (Dollars)
98
119
95
211
130
98
100
125

Answer 1

$122

Explanation:

To find the median, add all the prices together, and divide by the number of bikes

total of prices/number of bikes

Find the total of the prices

98+119+95+211+130+98+100+125=976

Then, divide by the number of bikes, 8

976/8

122

So, the median is $122

Hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

First: List the numbers from least to greatest
• 95, 98, 98, 100, 119, 125, 130, 211
Second: Identify the middle number. If the middle number isn’t present, use the two middle numbers by adding them and dividing by 2.
• 100 + 119 = 219
• 219/2 = 109.5
Third: Since these are prices, the median would be $109.50
