$9.25, $8.50, $22.50, $7.85, $8.85, $12.65, $10.85, $11.50

Answer 1

Answer: Median = the number in the middle of a set of data

So first we order the data:

7.85, 8.50, 8.85, 9.25, 10.85, 11.50, 12.65, 22.50

Now there is no exact number in the middle so we must find the number in the middle of 9.25 and 10.85 which is 10.05

Thus 10.05 is the median
