OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you need ill help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I need to find the median of a Stem and Leaf plot

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Want a picture?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

um no its ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

all you is start to cross out a number at the beginning and the end alternation and the one you end up with is your median.. if you end up with two average them

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, so say if I ad a steam and leaf plot here, 3| 8,7,7,6,5 4|6,0,9,4,4 5|3,2,2,1,5 Then I would cross out 8 from the top, 5 from the bottom, 7 from the top and 1 fro mthe bottom etc. etc.?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

To find the mean, you add up all of the numbers in the set and divide by the number of values that you added.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya but he is looking for the median @animefreakdesu

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mean= average median= middle number @animefreakdesu

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, thank you guys very much

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

np

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It went wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what happened

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I crossed the nubmers out and got 8 but all of the answers to my initial question are above 60

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh wait

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how did you get 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry, I wasn't thinking, the stem and leaf plot has that thing where if its 7|3,4,5,6,7 then 7|4 would be 74

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):
