What is the median for the following set of data? 2, 3, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11

The median value will be 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

The simplest way to think of a median is as a sort of "middle" value. We want to arrange our numbers from lowest to highest, then select the one in the middle. Here is another example:

3, 5, 2, 7, 3, 9, 1, 4, 7

The first step is to order these numbers from lowest to highest, like so:

1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 7, 7, 9

The number in the middle of this set is 4.

The problem you have presented, as well as the above example, both deal with an odd amount of numbers. Your problem has seven numbers, and the example I gave has nine. For any odd amount of numbers, the median is the value in the middle. But what about an even amount of numbers?

Consider:

9, 4, 3, 7

Let's rearrange this:

3, 4, 7, 9

Now, there will be two "middle" values: 4 and 7. The median value will be the average of these two values:

I hope that helps!

see below

step-by-step explanation:

7.   there are 10 data points in the set.   the middle point is between 5 and 6.   the middle point in the top half is 8   and the middle point in the bottom half is 3. to find the iqr , take point 8 and subtract point 3

mid term   point 8 = 100   point 3 = 88

iqr = 100-88 = 12

final   point 8 = 93   point 3 = 78

iqr = 93 - 78 = 15

the final has the greatest iqr

6.   b - there is a high data value that causes the data set to be asymmetrical for the males: the data for males are high and asymmetrical .   there is an outlier for the males that skews the data

5.   the   iqr is a better measure of spread for the movies and basketball games.   since the basketball game has an outlier, we do not want to use standard deviation for measurement.  

3.   the exam median is much higher than the class median.   the median line is farther to the right on the exams

2.   there is no way to tell what the means are from the box and whisker plots.
