QuestionWhat are the medians of the two datasets listed? Dataset 1: (5,19,14,3,8,14,25,0,3,5,1)(5,19,14,3,8,14,25,0,3,5,1) Dataset 2: (5,19,14,3,8,14,25,0,3,5,1,7)(5,19,14,3,8,14,25,0,3,5,1,7) (1 point)
Dataset 1: \square
Dataset 2: \square

STEP 1

1. Dataset 1 contains eleven data points: 5,19,14,3,8,14,25,0,3,5,15, 19, 14, 3, 8, 14, 25, 0, 3, 5, 1.
2. Dataset 2 contains twelve data points: 5,19,14,3,8,14,25,0,3,5,1,75, 19, 14, 3, 8, 14, 25, 0, 3, 5, 1, 7.
3. The median of a set with an odd number of elements is the middle value.
4. The median of a set with an even number of elements is the average of the two middle values.

STEP 2

1. Order the data points in Dataset 1.
2. Determine the median of Dataset 1.
3. Order the data points in Dataset 2.
4. Determine the median of Dataset 2.

STEP 3

List the data points in Dataset 1:
5,19,14,3,8,14,25,0,3,5,1 5, 19, 14, 3, 8, 14, 25, 0, 3, 5, 1

STEP 4

Order the data points in Dataset 1:
0,1,3,3,5,5,8,14,14,19,25 0, 1, 3, 3, 5, 5, 8, 14, 14, 19, 25

STEP 5

There are eleven data points in Dataset 1, so the median is the middle value. The middle of 11 values is the 6th value.
5 5

STEP 6

List the data points in Dataset 2:
5,19,14,3,8,14,25,0,3,5,1,7 5, 19, 14, 3, 8, 14, 25, 0, 3, 5, 1, 7

STEP 7

Order the data points in Dataset 2:
0,1,3,3,5,5,7,8,14,14,19,25 0, 1, 3, 3, 5, 5, 7, 8, 14, 14, 19, 25

STEP 8

There are twelve data points in Dataset 2, so the median is the average of the two middle values. The middle values are the 6th and 7th values.
5+72=6 \frac{5 + 7}{2} = 6
The medians are:
Dataset 1: 5\boxed{5}
Dataset 2: 6\boxed{6}
