Please Help!!! What is the median of the data set? 23 19 13 11 17 19
List all your numbers from least to greatest
11 13 17 19 19 23
Because there is a even number of values in your data set you will have to select the two that are in the middle and find their average
17+19/2
18
Good
i have a few more... ive been doing this all dayyy could you help me on the last few ones?
sure
i could help too
8 11 15 18 18 i gotta find the mean
add all of them
70
70 \ 2 =
no
i mean 5
Yes add all them but divide by how many members there are in your set
i have liek 3 more and then ill fan the both of you
go for it
70\5=
first off do you know how to read a stem and leaf diagram
yes i do i just couldn't copy paste the diagram.
Okay so if you are looking for the mode you are looking for which member is occurring the most
mode is the numer that is repeated more
im incredibly bad at medians and modes... i have a brain condition and won't live past 30, it causes me to remember only some things.
sorry if i act stupid.
i think it is 13 becacuse it is said 3 times more then the other num
No problem! I am a teacher. I do this all the time.
aright. thanks @jscarfpin i see that the most reoccuring number is 13
so i would add those up then divide by 8?
No you are looking for the mode. All you have to do is see which value shows up the most. mahnoor2001already said the answer is 13. Do you see why?
ohh okay i see.
so adding up and dividing by whatever the amount of numbers there are is the median, and the mode is the most occuring number
Mean -Add all values and divide by how many Median is in the middle when listed from least to greatest Mode occurs the most. Write this down.
ok i will. do you know anything about summarys?
my last couple of questions have summarys and i do not know how to answer them because i missed a day of school being sick
can you attach them or scan them some how?
yes i will. What is the five-number summary for the data set? 28 34 26 33 48 42 39 28 36 A. Minimum: 26, Q¹: 28, Q²: 34, Q³: 40.5, Maximum: 48 B. Minimum: 26, Q¹: 28, Q²: 34, Q³: 40, Maximum: 48 C. Minimum: 26, Q¹: 28, Q²: 33.5, Q³: 40.5, Maximum: 48 D. Minimum: 26, Q¹: 28, Q²: 34, Q³: 42, Maximum: 48
i wrote them down from my homework paper directly onto the comment
This looks like you are trying to set up a box and whisker plot?
i honestly don't know and to me it does not how any box and whisker plot on my book
So first thing to do is list all the values from least to greatest
circle the least and greatest and find the median
26 28 28 33 34 36 39 42 48
The median is the value in the middle of the set.
34!
Good
but it is asking me what the summary is O-o
a 5 number summary
The median is splitting the set into two smaller sets. One is a lower set and the other is the higher set.
We need to find the median value of the lower half and upper half
ok so it's like a line between two proprety lines
so on the left hand i have 28 28 and on the right hand i have 39 42
So the left hand side must be 28
The right hand side (39+42)/2
What five numbers do you have?
ok hold on
60
Okay lets back up a minute
In the summary they asked for a minimum value a maximum value and three values somewhere in the middle.
48 is the maximum value so 60 does not fit
ok
but i added 42 and 39 and i divided in half and got 60
When typing this in to a calculator make sure you hit enter after you add the two numbers
If you type it all in at once your calculator will do the division first
42+39=81
then 81/2
40.5
good
im using my head not my calc cause i need to learn how to do things
Cool
i think the answer would be a
. Minimum: 26, Q¹: 28, Q²: 34, Q³: 40.5, Maximum: 48 B. Minimum: 26, Q¹: 28, Q²: 34, Q³: 40, Maximum: 48 C. Minimum: 26, Q¹: 28, Q²: 33.5, Q³: 40.5, Maximum: 48 D. Minimum: 26, Q¹: 28, Q²: 34, Q³: 42, Maximum: 48
Yes A fits the set we generated.
this is really cool !!!!! i have one more problem (sorry ;^;)
Okay.
lemme take a screenshot
These are box and whisker plots. Take notice of the dots on the line. There are five of them. The dot the furthest to the left is the minimum and the one to the right is the maximum. The one in the center is the median also referred to as Q2.
Q1 is the median of the lower set and Q3 is the median of the upper set
Each of the quarters represent exactly 25% of the data in the set
So to actually tackle this problem we have to start by listing all the values from least to greatest
i see
sorry my mom asked me to take the trash out
so c would be the answer?
Not quite
In C the Greatest value is 30
Our set only goes up to 27
ohhh ok so then i would be selecting b
Take a look at D
Notice there is a dot below 8 for the minimum value and a dot directly under 27 which is the maximum value
Then you should have found the median to be between 19 and 21. 20
oh wow i am really bad at box and whisker...
i can't belive i did not see that!
Don't beat yourself up. There is a lot to understand in constructing and reading them.
oh okay. well thanks for the help! im fanning you and i would like to know more but i am 5 minutes late to a concerti have to goto. thank you so much!
bye
