Question

Here is the histogram of a data distribution. All class widths are 1. What is the median of this distribution?

Answer 1

The median is 4.

Explanation

if you layout all the number, you get

1,2,2,3,3,3,4,5,5,5,6,6,7

So, to find the median you find the number(s) right in the middle.

(Ex. 3,4,5; 4 is the median)

(Ex. 3,4,5,7; 4.5 is the answer)

The middle number of

1,2,2,3,3,3,4,5,5,5,6,6,7

is 4, so 4 is the median.

hope this helps. :)
