Q. Look at this set of 6 numbers:93,81,83,83,43,22How would the median change if the number 24 replaced one of the 83's in the set?Choices:(A)increase(B)decrease(C)no change
Identify and Arrange Original Set: Identify the original set and arrange it in ascending order.Original set: 93,81,83,83,43,22Sorted set: 22,43,81,83,83,93
Calculate Median of Original Set: Calculate the median of the original set.Since there are 6 numbers, the median is the average of the 3rd and 4th numbers.Median = (81+83)/2=82
Replace and Sort New Set: Replace one of the 83's with 24 and sort the new set.New set: 93, 81, 24, 83, 43, 22Sorted new set: 22, 24, 43, 81, 83, 93
Calculate Median of New Set: Calculate the median of the new set. Median = (43+81)/2=62
