OpenStudy (welshfella):

Count the dots - this gives the number of observations

OpenStudy (anonymous):

15

OpenStudy (welshfella):

15 so this discounts A do you know what the median of a set of numbers is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If there is an odd number of data values then the median will be the value in the middle.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have to go eat my mom is yelling at me

OpenStudy (welshfella):

right now these numbers are basically arranged in ascending oder already and there are 15 of them So the median would be the 8th number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol yes.

OpenStudy (welshfella):

as I said which number is the median here/

OpenStudy (welshfella):

- the middle number when the data is arranged in increasing order

OpenStudy (anonymous):

10.5?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

no - there are 15 numbers so the 8th number is the median.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (welshfella):

9 9 9 9 9 10 10 10 10 10 10 11 11 11 12

OpenStudy (welshfella):

all you need do is pick out the 8th number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

10

OpenStudy (welshfella):
