Q. Look at this set of 1010 numbers:\newline27,39,50,33,81,30,13,67,66,2827, 39, 50, 33, 81, 30, 13, 67, 66, 28\newlineHow would the median change if the number 3737 replaced the number 1313 in the set?\newlineChoices:\newline(A)increase\newline(B)decrease\newline(C)no change
  1. Arrange numbers in ascending order: Step 11: Arrange the original set of numbers in ascending order.\newlineOriginal set: 27,39,50,33,81,30,13,67,66,2827, 39, 50, 33, 81, 30, 13, 67, 66, 28.\newlineOrdered set: 13,27,28,30,33,39,50,66,67,8113, 27, 28, 30, 33, 39, 50, 66, 67, 81.
  2. Identify median of ordered set: Step 22: Identify the median of the original ordered set.\newlineSince there are 1010 numbers, the median is the average of the 55th and 66th numbers.\newlineMedian = (33+39)/2=36(33 + 39) / 2 = 36.
  3. Replace number 1313 with 3737: Step 33: Replace the number 1313 with 3737 in the original set and reorder it.\newlineNew set: 27,39,50,33,81,30,37,67,66,2827, 39, 50, 33, 81, 30, 37, 67, 66, 28.\newlineOrdered new set: 27,28,30,33,37,39,50,66,67,8127, 28, 30, 33, 37, 39, 50, 66, 67, 81.
  4. Identify median of new ordered set: Step 44: Identify the median of the new ordered set.\newlineSince there are still 1010 numbers, the median is the average of the 55th and 66th numbers.\newlineMedian = (37+39)/2=38(37 + 39) / 2 = 38.
