Question

in a mathematics class, the following test scores were recorded for a student. find the median. 85, 94, 80, 73, 76, 84. the median is . (round to one decimal place as needed.)

Explanation:

Step1: Arrange scores in ascending order

$73,76,80,84,85,94$

Step2: Determine position of median

Since there are $n = 6$ (even number of data - points), the median is the average of the $\frac{n}{2}$th and $(\frac{n}{2}+1)$th ordered values. $\frac{n}{2}=\frac{6}{2}=3$ and $\frac{n}{2}+1 = 4$.

Step3: Calculate median

Median=$\frac{80 + 84}{2}=\frac{164}{2}=82$

Answer:

$82$
