OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thx it's hard for me to uderstand how to find the median in a stem and leaf plot can you help me understand

OpenStudy (anonymous):

146

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea i had a hard time with this too lol so for the first line is 15 1 3 3 7 1 3 3 7 are the numbers that go after the 15 so 151 153 153 157 and the same for the rest but to find the median of the plot you have to put the numbers in order from greatest to least and then the middle number would be the median so if you had say nine numbers like you do here the middle or the median would be the 5th one because in the middle get it ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7 it would be 133671415. Yall r finding the mean.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think it was the median i was trying to find

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No the mean is the average of all the numbers @ConnectionsGirl

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we are finding median for the numbers 151, 153, 153, 157, 146, 130, 132, 121, and 124

OpenStudy (anonymous):

121, 124, 130, 134, 146, 151, 153, 153, and 157 in chronological order from least to greatest so the median would 146

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Put the numbers in order of size. The median is the value for which half are larger and half are smaller.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Put them in order from leaset to greatest and then find the middle number and that is you median.
