Answer 1

Answer:1/3

Step-by-step explanation: rearranging in ascending order,there are 19 terms in the set,1/4 appears 8 times,1/3 is the ninth,tenth and eleventh terms.

The median of 19 terms is the 10th term which is 1/3

Answer 2

Median = 1/3

Explanation:

If we put the numbers in order from least to greatest we will get:

1/4 1/4 1/4 1/4 1/4 1/4 1/4 1/4 1/3 1/3 1/3 1/2 1/2 1/2 1/2 1/2 2/3 2/3 2/3

10th

since we have 19 numbers the median should be the 10th number(the middle number) in the sequence which is 1/3.
