5 0 0

Answer 2

What is the median monthly sales goal?

Answer 3

Order all numbers from least to greatest first.
0,0,1,3,4,4,5,5,6,7,8,9
the median is the value in the middle

Answer 4

are you familiar with the word, 'median' it means middle number. so count in from the first number and count in from the last number on the stemLeaf Plot and see what number you end up on

Answer 5

in this case you have 4 and 5 in the middle.
so you add them both and divide by 2.
4 + 5 = 9
9/2 = 4.5
4.5 is your median number.

Answer 6

that isnt a choice tho >_< a. $50,000
b. $33,500
c. $34,500
d. $36,000

Answer 7

oh, it's in thousands.

Answer 8

well,
4000 + 5000 = 9000
9000/2 = 4500
30000 + 4500 = 34500

Answer 9

that's my guess atleast...

Answer 10

33000 and 34000 are your middle numbers. The median would be (33000 + 34000)/2 = 67000/2 = 33500

Answer 11
