What is the median of Variable A? Express answer to one decimal place.
yea was the last one 3.5
Nope, last one was \[A=\frac{( 2+2+4+5+6+7+8+9) }{ 8 } = 5.375\]
give me a min
Now median here is the middle number once it's sorted out
so this one would be....
Put all the numbers in order, and it will be the middle one
so wait what numbers
The ones in variable A
Horizontal
|dw:1454720588030:dw|
so 6.

\[\huge 1, 2, 4,4,5,6,7,9\]
okay and divide by 8
No you're looking for the median, not the mean. Median, you put the numbers in order and it's the middle one, but notice we have an even amount of numbers so we take the middle pair and then find the half way of that.
so we multiply i got 38 when i added those up
All you have to do is find the middle number once you've listed all the numbers out for variable A, as I showed above, and since it's even we find the pair in the middle which is 4 and 5, so all we have to do is find the half way between them. \[\huge \frac{ 4+5 }{ 2 } = median\]
9 divided by 2
4.5
Yes
so its 4.5
