Transcript text: Use the display of data to find the mean, median, mode, and midrange.
The mean of the data is 12.4 . (Round to the nearest tenth as needed.)
The median of the data is $\square$ (Round to the nearest tenth as needed.)
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Find the total number of data points
Add the frequencies for each score: 0 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 3 + 1 = 18 data points
Step 2: Locate the position of the median
Since there are 18 data points, the median is the average of the 9th and 10th values.
Step 3: Identify the 9th and 10th values
From the graph:
Score 10 has a frequency of 2 (1st and 2nd values).
Score 11 has a frequency of 3 (3rd, 4th and 5th values).
Score 12 has a frequency of 4 (6th, 7th, 8th and 9th values).
Score 13 has a frequency of 5 (10th, 11th, 12th, 13th, and 14th values).
The 9th value is 12 and the 10th value is 13.
