find the frequency of 8 , plse see the attachment

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (phi):

The frequency tells you how many of the x's you have of that value. for example you have 2 ones and 3 twos, and so on. write them all out the median is 4, so 4 is the middle number. half of the numbers are below 4 and half above 4 can you try to do the problem ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have tried , but not geting the answer

OpenStudy (phi):

if you add up the frequencies of all the numbers below 4, you get 9 for 4 to be the median, the frequencies of the numbers above 4 must also add to 9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

as n is even, so, n/2 and (n/2)+1 th term 8/2 and (8/2)+1 th term 4 and 5 th term

OpenStudy (phi):

how do you get n is even ? you can choose the frequency of 8 so you get an odd #

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i didn't get u

OpenStudy (phi):

if we "decode" the info, we get a sequence 1 1 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 4 5 5 6 6 6 6 7 7 with an unknown # of 8's

OpenStudy (phi):

we are told the median of that sequence is 4. there are 9 numbers below 4 (count, or add up the frequencies) so you want 9 numbers above 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k

OpenStudy (phi):

so how many 8's do you tack on to the sequence so that 4 is the median ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think i did a mistake because i trying to understand , but i m not getting it

OpenStudy (phi):

Here is an example If you had the numbers 1 2 3 but you had repeats like this 1 1 1 2 2 3 3 you would write this as x 1 2 3 f 3 2 2 that says you have 3 1's, two 2's and two 3's the median of the numbers 1 1 1 2 2 3 3 is the middle number |dw:1364935908002:dw|
