What is the median of the data set? {16, 15, 17, 19, 12, 11, 14, 14, 13, 11, 18, 15} 14

OpenStudy (anonymous):

answer14

OpenStudy (triciaal):

why

OpenStudy (anonymous):

median

Hi Welcome to openstudy :-) You are a bit off can you show how you got that answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k

OpenStudy (anonymous):

11,11,12,13,14,14,15,15,16,17,19

OpenStudy (anonymous):

14 is in the middle

OpenStudy (triciaal):

can you arrange the data in ascending order lowest entry to highest entry how many entries? which is in the middle?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

14

pooja195 (pooja195):

You need to put them in GREATEST to LEAST form \[\rm~\bf~16,13,15,11,17,18,19,15,12,11,14,14\]

OpenStudy (triciaal):

correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

11,11,12,13,14,14,15,15,16,17,19 LEAST to GREATEST

pooja195 (pooja195):

no GREATEST to LEAST \[\rm~\bf~16,13,15,11,17,18,19,15,12,11,14,14\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that u wrote ^ is mixed up

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it can be anyway

OpenStudy (anonymous):

typically, the data are listed in ascending order so that the quartiles match, in ascending order

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\(Q_1\text{, }Q_2\text{, }Q_3\text{ like that...}

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@pooja195 i got 14 as the answer what did u get

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\(Q_1\text{, }Q_2\text{, }Q_3\text{ like that...}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@pgpilot326 i don't get that

pooja195 (pooja195):

no it can't it effects the middle number 19,18,17,16,15,15,14,14,13,12,11,11, ok now try calculating the median

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\(Q_2\) is the median... it is the "middle" data point

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if there is an even number of data, average the 2 middle points to get the median

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@pooja195 i now what i did wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

median = 14.5 no matter if it is ascending or descending order

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i forgot 2 put #18

pooja195 (pooja195):

Glad you realized :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k thx

i will make a new Q

pooja195 (pooja195):

ok :)

are both of you using the same data set?
