Q. Look at this set of 66 numbers:\newline97,59,47,37,64,2497, 59, 47, 37, 64, 24\newlineHow would the median change if the number 8787 replaced the number 6464 in the set?\newlineChoices:\newline(A)increase\newline(B)decrease\newline(C)no change
  1. Arrange Data in Ascending Order: Arrange the original data set in ascending order.\newlineOriginal set: 24,37,47,59,64,9724, 37, 47, 59, 64, 97
  2. Calculate Original Set Median: Calculate the median of the original set.\newlineSince there are 66 numbers, the median is the average of the 33rd and 44th numbers: (47+59)/2=53(47 + 59) / 2 = 53
  3. Replace Number with 8787: Replace 6464 with 8787 in the set and arrange it in ascending order.\newlineNew set: 24,37,47,59,87,9724, 37, 47, 59, 87, 97
  4. Calculate New Set Median: Calculate the median of the new set.\newlineThe median of the new set is also the average of the 33rd and 44th numbers: (47+59)/2=53(47 + 59) / 2 = 53
