no, the median is not 10 either


Keep in mind that your data set is {100,200,300,400,500,600,700}

no, use the method you described to find the median

oh i see, well you're close...perhaps you miscounted because the median is really 300

Answer 35

oh ok whoops

Answer 36

so since both the median and the mode are 300, this means median = mode
