Q. Look at this set of 99 numbers:\newline95,86,76,37,39,86,20,44,1695, 86, 76, 37, 39, 86, 20, 44, 16\newlineHow would the median change if the number 4545 replaced the number 1616 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: 95,86,76,37,39,86,20,44,1695, 86, 76, 37, 39, 86, 20, 44, 16\newlineAscending order: 16,20,37,39,44,76,86,86,9516, 20, 37, 39, 44, 76, 86, 86, 95
  2. Identify Original Median: Step 22: Identify the median of the original set.\newlineSince there are 99 numbers, the median is the 55th number in the ordered set.\newlineOriginal median: 4444
  3. Replace Number 1616: Step 33: Replace the number 1616 with 4545 and reorder the set.\newlineNew set: 9595, 8686, 7676, 3737, 3939, 8686, 2020, 4444, 4545\newlineAscending order: 2020, 3737, 3939, 4444, 4545, 7676, 8686, 8686, 9595
  4. Identify New Median: Step 44: Identify the median of the new set.\newlineSince there are still 99 numbers, the median is the 55th number in the ordered set.\newlineNew median: 4545
