Q. Look at this set of 10 numbers:27,39,50,33,81,30,13,67,66,28How would the median change if the number 37 replaced the number 13 in the set?Choices:(A)increase(B)decrease(C)no change
Arrange numbers in ascending order: Step 1: Arrange the original set of numbers in ascending order.Original set: 27,39,50,33,81,30,13,67,66,28.Ordered set: 13,27,28,30,33,39,50,66,67,81.
Identify median of ordered set: Step 2: Identify the median of the original ordered set.Since there are 10 numbers, the median is the average of the 5th and 6th numbers.Median = (33+39)/2=36.
Replace number 13 with 37: Step 3: Replace the number 13 with 37 in the original set and reorder it.New set: 27,39,50,33,81,30,37,67,66,28.Ordered new set: 27,28,30,33,37,39,50,66,67,81.
Identify median of new ordered set: Step 4: Identify the median of the new ordered set.Since there are still 10 numbers, the median is the average of the 5th and 6th numbers.Median = (37+39)/2=38.
