Question: The drying times in hours for a new paint are as follows:1.5,0.8,2.4,0.5,1.3,2.7,3.6,3.2,2.0,1.9 What is the median drying time

A. 1.99
B.1.95
C.1.9
D.1.5
E. NONE OF THE ABOVE

Answer 1

B. 1.95 because (1.9+2.0)/2= 1.95

Answer 2

First, we need to arrange the numbers in order:

0.5, 0.8, 1.3, 1.5, 1.9, 2.0, 2.4, 2.7, 3.2, 3.6

There are 10 numbers in the list, so the median is the middle value. In this case, the middle values are 1.9 and 2.0. To find the median, we take the average of these two numbers:

(1.9 + 2.0) / 2 = 1.95

Therefore, the median drying time is 1.95 hours, option B.
