Question

Find the median of the set of data
8.4, 4.9, 1.9, 1.3, 8.7, 9.4, 4.9, 5.5

Answer 1

Median is 5.2

Explanation:

Median is the middle number when everything is in order

8.4, 4.9, 1.9, 1.3, 8.7, 9.4, 4.9, 5.5

--->

1.3, 1.9, 4.9, 4.9, 5.5, 8.4, 8.7, 9.4

Since there are two middle numbers we need the middle of those two

(4.9 + 5.5) / 2 = 5.2

Answer 2

5.2

Explanation:

1.3, 1.9, 4.9, 4.9, 5.5, 8.4, 8.7, 9.4

the median is the middle number, so it would be in between 4.9 and 5.5

the answer is 5.2
