Question

What is the median of the data represented in the line plot below?

Answer 1

23

Explanation:

You line the numbers up from least to greatest. The dots above the numbers in the chart shows how many times you have to add that particular number to the dataset. Thus, in this example, your dataset is:

21, 21, 22, 22, 22, 22, 23, 23, 23, 23, 23, 23, 24

There are 13 numbers. The number in the middle of this set of numbers is a 23. Therefore, the median is 23.

Answer 2

Given:

Given that the data are represented in the line plot.

From the line plot, the data are {21, 21, 22, 22, 22, 22, 23, 23, 23, 23, 23, 23, 24}

We need to determine the median of the data.

Median:

The median is the middle value in the given set of data.

If the data is even, then there will be two middle numbers, then the median is the average of these two middle numbers.

Thus, from the data, it is obvious that the number of data in the given set is 13.

Hence, the middle number is 23.

Therefore, the median of the data is 23.

Hence, Option c is the correct answer.
