The median is 5
Step-by-step explanation:
The median is the value that is in the middle of a data set. One can find this value by lining up all of the values in the data set in ascending order (from smallest to largest). Then one will cross out answers on either side of the data set until one is left with a single value. In the event that one is left with two values, one will take the average of the two values. In other words, add the two values and then divide the result by 2.
The first step in finding the median is to list out all of the given data. Transcribe the visual data that is given in the problem into numerical data. In other words, rewrite the numbers represented by the dots as actual numbers.
1, 1, 3, 4, 4, 5, 6, 6, 6, 7, 9
Now take out numbers from each side until a single number is left in the middle.
1, 1, 3, 4, 4, 5, 6, 6, 6, 7, 9
1, 3, 4, 4, 5, 6, 6, 6, 7
3, 4, 4, 5, 6, 6, 6
4, 4, 5, 6, 6,
4, 5, 6,
5
