Q. 486,415,387,417,324What is the median value of the data set shown?
Arrange Data in Ascending Order: To find the median, we first need to arrange the data set in ascending order.The given data set is: 486,415,387,417,324Arranging in ascending order: 324,387,415,417,486
Identify Middle Number: The median is the middle number in a sorted, ascending or descending, list of numbers. Since we have an odd number of data points (5 numbers), the median will be the third number in the ordered list.
Find Median: Identify the middle number in the ordered list. The middle number is the third one, which is 415.
Verify Correctness: Verify that no steps have been skipped and that the ordering and counting have been done correctly. There are no math errors in the previous steps.
