Question

This Stem-and-Leaf Plot shows the amount of rainfall received in centimeters in each month. What is the median of this data set? A. 45.5 cm B. 55.5 cm C. 34.5 cm D. 22.5 cm

Answer 1

B. 55.5

Explanation:

Answer 2

55.5 B

Explanation:

We have the following points of data

48, 49, 50, 51, 54, 55, 56, 58, 60, 62, 63, 63

The median is the data point in the middle (when listed in order)

If we find the middle number we'll see that it's between 55 and 56. When this is the case you find the average of the two numbers (add them and divide by 2)

(55+56)/2=55.5
