Question

The average temperatures across Washington, Texas, Oklahoma, New York, Missouri, Hawaii and Michigan are48°F, 65°F, 60°F, 45°F, 54°F, 64°F, 70°F, and 45°F respectively.Find the median

Answer 1

Let's list the values first. These are

48, 65, 60, 45, 54, 64, 70 and 45

Now, we have to arrange these values from the smallest to the largest. Doing this we have

45, 45, 48, 54, 60, 64, 65, 70.

The median will be between the middle items which are 54 and 60. So we will find the median by the following way

`\begin{gathered} \text{Median = }\frac{54+60_{}}{2} \\ \text{Median }(114)/(2) \\ \text{Median = 57} \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the Median is 57°F
