I need help now!!!

Answer 3

Median = Middle. You put all your numbers in numerical order from least to greatest. All of our numbers are 37, 38, 38, 40, 43, 45, 47, 47,51, and 52. Next, you find the number that is in the middle of the set. If there is two numbers in the middle, you must find the average of those two numbers.

Answer 4

Thank you so much!!

Answer 5

No problem :) what did you get for your answer?

Answer 6

45

Answer 7

is that right?

Answer 8

Since there is 10 numbes, and even amount there will be two numbers for the middle. These numbers are 45 and 47. Do you know how to find the average of 2 or more numbers?

Answer 9

divide the sum?

Answer 10

By two, yes

Answer 11

So we add 45 and 47 and divide it by 2?

Answer 12

That didn't turn out right, and yes

Answer 13

I got 69.5

Answer 14

No, it should be lower and be a whole number. What is 45+47?

Answer 15

92

Answer 16

Yes, and what is 92/2?

Answer 17

46

Answer 18

Right. You can also solve this by finding the number in the middle of those two numbers.

Like the average of 26 and 27 is 26.5, and the average of 20 and 40 is 30

Answer 19

Ok so what is the answer

Answer 20

Is it 40?

Answer 21

Oh my, you have to find the average of 43 and 45, not 45 and 47. Do you know what the average of 43 and 45 is?
