Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. The list of points deducted from the exams is26,13,39,22,42,39,18,21,32,14. The median is the middle value in a sorted list of numbers. If the list has an even number of observations, the median is the average of the two middle numbers.
STEP 2
First, we need to sort the list of points in ascending order.
STEP 3
Since the list has an even number of observations (10), the median is the average of the two middle numbers. In this case, the two middle numbers are the5th and6th numbers in the sorted list.
STEP 4
Identify the two middle numbers.
STEP 5
Calculate the median by taking the average of these two numbers.
STEP 6
Calculate the median.
The median of the points deducted from the chemistry final exams is24.
