Question

The scores for the first five basketball games were:

88, 90, 102, 94, 90

If the score of the sixth game was 92, how is the median changed?

A. increased by 2

B.decreased by 1

C. increased by 1

D.no change

Answer 1

Put the numbers in increasing or decreasing order first. The one in the middle is the median.

Answer 2

Median is the middle most number, so before the median was 90, now the median is 91...
So C

Answer 3

But if there are two in the middle, you need to find the mean of the two middle numbers.

Answer 4

88, 90, 90, 94, 102 is the first set
88, 90, 90, 92, 94, 102 is the second set.

The median for the first set has only one middle number 90
The median for the second set is the average/mean of 90 and 92 which is 91

Answer 5

so c ?

Answer 6

Yes, C
