(b) In a math quiz competition, Aditi's math quiz scores were 90, 92, 93, 88, 95, 88, 97, 87, and 98. What was the median quiz score? [2 MARKS]
Answer:
:
Each part: 1 Mark
(a) Arrange the data in ascending order
17, 18, 24, 25, 35, 36, 46.
Median is the middle observation.
Clearly, the middle observation is 25.
⇒ 25 is the median.
(b)Arrange the data in ascending order
87, 88, 88, 90, 92, 93, 95, 97, 98
Median is the middle observation.
⇒ 92 is the median.
