Q. Look at this set of 66 numbers:\newline45,55,62,31,35,8745, 55, 62, 31, 35, 87\newlineHow would the median change if the number 9292 were added to 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: 45,55,62,31,35,8745, 55, 62, 31, 35, 87\newlineAscending order: 31,35,45,55,62,8731, 35, 45, 55, 62, 87
  2. Find Median of Original Set: Step 22: Find the median of the original set.\newlineSince there are 66 numbers, the median is the average of the 33rd and 44th numbers.\newlineMedian = (45+55)/2=50(45 + 55) / 2 = 50
  3. Add Number 9292 and Arrange: Step 33: Add the number 9292 to the set and arrange it in ascending order.\newlineNew set: 31,35,45,55,62,87,9231, 35, 45, 55, 62, 87, 92
  4. Find Median of New Set: Step 44: Find the median of the new set.\newlineSince there are now 77 numbers, the median is the 44th number.\newlineMedian =55= 55
