35 35 20 50 95 75 45 50 30 35 30 30

b. Find the median.

Accepted Answer

Welcome back, everyone. Listed below are the number of items purchased by a group of shoppers at a supermarket at 20 p.m. Find the median. We're given 12 shoppers and items purchased. We want to identify the median, which essentially requires us to first of all arrange the given data set in ascending order. So what we're going to do is basically arrange all these items purchased from lowest to highest. We can begin with 20, so we have 20, followed by 30. We have 30 again and again, so 3 times. 20 is followed by 30, 30, and 30. Then we have 35. 35 again and 35 again, so 3 times, right? 35, 35, and 35. Followed by 45. Then we have 50, 2 times, so 50 and 50. And finally, 75, followed by 95. Now median is basically the middle value, but we have to be very careful. Essentially, we have an even Number Of data points, right, because we have 12. If it is an even number, we essentially are looking for the average of the two middle values. So now what we have to do is exclude the 1st 5 data points and the last 5 data points, 12345. This leaves us with two middle values, 35 and 35. Those are the 6th 1. And the 7th 1. So now we are going to take these 2. And average them. Meaning our median is 35 plus 35 divided by 2, which is 35, and that would be our final answer to this problem. Thank you for watching.
