What is the median of this data set?
16,21,28,30,34,45,58,60

32

Step-by-step explanation:

the median in a data set is the middle number. first, you are going to want to order the numbers in numerical order.

this is what it would look like.

16, 21, 28, 30, 34, 45, 58, 60

(basically how it is in the problem lol)

since there's an even number of numbers in the set, you have to take the mean of the two middle numbers. in this case, the two middle numbers are 30  and 34.

you take the mean of numbers by adding them, and then dividing them based on the number of numbers. (sorry if that doesn't make sense, just look down ehe)

(30+34)/2

we divide by two because there are two numbers.

(30+34)/2

(64)/2

if this didn't make sense - sorry - but you can watch this video: https://www.khanacademy.org/math/cc-sixth-grade-math/cc-6th-data-statistics/mean-and-median/v/mean-median-and-mode

it's a short 3 minute video :))

hope this helped!!

to plot points   for x just start at the origin (middle) and go to the left however many times it say(if the number is a positive) if the number is a negative then go right however many times it says if it is 0 go nowhere

now keep you pencil there and go up however many times it says on y(if it is positive) if it is negative then go down however many times it says. if it says 0 go nowhere.

you have just plotted a point! now when you finish plotting all of them connect them with a ruler

plot each point as (-3, 7), (0,4), (3,1), (8,-4)   in the parenthesis on the left of the comma is x and the right is y.
