OpenStudy (dani_rose):

The mean of a set of numbers is their average. You find the average of a set of numbers by adding them up and dividing by the number of numbers you have.

OpenStudy (lolipop_drum312):

so what do i have to add up?

OpenStudy (dani_rose):

i'm guessing the x coordinates

OpenStudy (lolipop_drum312):

ok

OpenStudy (lolipop_drum312):

is the x-coordinates the dots?

OpenStudy (dani_rose):

yes like for the first dot the coordinate is (1,6) but the x coordinate is 6 while 1 is the y coordinate

OpenStudy (lolipop_drum312):

so do i add that with the other dots or is that my answer

OpenStudy (dani_rose):

Here is a set of all the x coordinates (1,2,3,3,4,5,7,8)

The median is the middle value in a ranked set of numbers. The set of values of variable A is as follows: {1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8}

OpenStudy (dani_rose):

No add up 1+2+3+3+4+5+7+8 and then divide your answer by 8

OpenStudy (lolipop_drum312):

AH OK THANK YOU~~~ and thank you danirose

OpenStudy (dani_rose):

so it would be \[33\div8\]

OpenStudy (kropot72):

@Dani_Rose That will find the mean. The median is required.

OpenStudy (dani_rose):

And whatever that equals is your answer

OpenStudy (lolipop_drum312):

and thank you guys for answering ;u;

OpenStudy (dani_rose):

Oh lol sorry

OpenStudy (lolipop_drum312):

its ok xD

OpenStudy (dani_rose):

lol thanks for catching my mistake :)

OpenStudy (lolipop_drum312):

so who wants the medelion

OpenStudy (dani_rose):

Give it to @kropot72

OpenStudy (kropot72):

The median is found from: \[\large Median=\frac{3+4}{2}=?\]

OpenStudy (lolipop_drum312):

ok here ya gooo bibidi bobodi BOOO! xD
