Hannah has a chicken coop with 6 hens. Let X represent the total number of eggs the hens lay on a randomly chosen day. The distribution for X is given in the table. A 2-column table with 7 rows. Column 1 is labeled number of eggs with entries 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Column 2 is labeled probability with entries 0.02, 0.03, 0.07, 0.12, 0.30, 0.28, 0.18.

What is the median of the distribution?

3
3.5
4
4.2

The correct option is;

3

Step-by-step explanation:

The data from the question is presented as follows;

Term              Number of eggs                                           Probability

1                         0                                                                         0.02

2                        1                                                                          0.03

3                        2                                                                         0.07

4 Median term  3                                                                        0.12

5                        4                                                                        0.30

6                        5                                                                        0.28

7                         6                                                                        0.18

The median of the distribution is given by the (n + 1)/2th term

Where;

n = The number of terms = 7

Therefore, the median of the distribution is the (7 + 1)/2th term which is the 4th term of the distribution, which is 3

65
