Q. Look at this set of 8 numbers:23,74,31,19,54,47,23,25How would the median change if the number 63 replaced the number 25 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: 23,74,31,19,54,47,23,25Ascending order: 19,23,23,25,31,47,54,74
Find Median of Original Set: Step 2: Find the median of the original set.Since there are 8 numbers, the median is the average of the 4th and 5th numbers.Median = (25+31)/2=28
Replace Number and Arrange: Step 3: Replace the number 25 with 63 and arrange the new set in ascending order.New set: 23,74,31,19,54,47,23,63Ascending order: 19,23,23,31,47,54,63,74
Find Median of New Set: Step 4: Find the median of the new set.Since there are still 8 numbers, the median is the average of the 4th and 5th numbers.Median = (31+47)/2=39
