Question 1 Report

Find the median of the following set of data 35,10,14,38,15,18,22,30 and 28
Answer Details
To find the median of a set of data, we need to arrange the data in order from lowest to highest or highest to lowest. In this case, the data in the set are: 10, 14, 15, 18, 22, 28, 30, 35, 38 We can see that there are 9 numbers in the set, which is an odd number. The median is the middle number when the data are arranged in order. Since there are an odd number of data points, there is exactly one middle number. To find the middle number, we count up from the smallest number and down from the largest number until we reach the middle. In this case, the middle number is 22 because it is the fifth number when the data are arranged in order: 10, 14, 15, 18, 22, 28, 30, 35, 38 Therefore, the median of the set of data 35, 10, 14, 38, 15, 18, 22, 30, and 28 is 22.
