Exercise 6 Page 463

It may be easier to calculate the median if you rearrange the numbers first.

28

Practice makes perfect

Let's look at the given data set.

Boys Girls
Ms. Green 15 14
Mr. Nesbit 12 12
Ms. Jackson 12 16

We want to find the median number of students in the three classes. To do this, we will first calculate the number of students in each class. Ms. Green's Students:& 15+14 = 29 Mr. Nesbit's Students:& 12+12 = 24 Ms. Jackson's Students:& 12+16 = 28 To identify the median, we observe the middle value of this set. 24, 28, 29 We can see that the middle value in this set is 28, so this is our median.
