James needs to clock in a minimum of 9 hours per day at work. however, the working hours that he records varies between 9 to 12 from day to day. his recorded working hours for a certain number of days are as follows:
{9, 9.5, 10, 10.5, 10.5, 11, 11, 11.5, 11.5, 11.5, 12, 12}.
what is the median of his working hours and the skew of the distribution?

, and

for

step-by-step explanation:

we can analyze the pattern at which the terms increase. let us denote , , , so that we can call

note the following:

the pattern: to get the next term value, we just add the next term number (e.g. 1st, 2nd, to the previous term value (term values are the given numbers in the question, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15,

from , to get to , we add

from , to get to , we add

etc.

we need to form a recursive formula, a formula that has the next term as a function of the previous term. so a possible recursive formula can be

, and for
