Question

Can someone tell me what to do on this question for a medal?!?!

Answer 1

The table shows data from a survey about the number of times families travel by car or taxi during an average week. The families are either from a rural town (population under 5,000) or a large city (population over 1 million):

Rural Town City
0 0
0 0
1 2
3 2
7 4
7 8
7 10
14 12
14 16
20 20
45 20

Which of the choices below best describes how to measure the center of this data?

Answer 2

Don't worry what the last sentence says. Also, the second set of numbers below "Town" should actually be below City.

Answer 3

@mathstudent55 Can you help me?

Answer 4

the center of the data is the median. You find it by sorting and finding the middle number.
It already is sorted, so count and find the middle number.

Answer 5

Really? Is that it?

Answer 6

I guess it is. Thanks.

Answer 7

if we combine both columns into 1 sorted list, we have 22 numbers.
there is no "middle" number so we take the average of the 11th and 12th number
