Question

The dot plot displays the number of bushes in the yards for houses in a neighborhood. What is the median?

Answer 1

Median = 8

Explanation:

Data set representing the number of bushes in the yards of the houses in the neighborhood will be,

{5, 5, 6, 6, 6, 7, 7, 7, 7, 8, 8, 8, 9, 9, 10, 11, 11, 11, 11, 11}

Total number of houses = 20

Since, 20 is an even number,

Median of the data = average of middle two term

= average of 20th term and 21st term of the data set

=
`(8+8)/(2)`

= 8

Median of the data set = 8
