Answer 1

To determine the median number of siblings, we first need to arrange the responses in ascending order:

1, 1, 2.5, 2.5, 3, 3, 6, 6

Next, we count the total number of responses. In this case, we have 8 responses.

Since the total number of responses is even, we take the average of the two middle values. In this case, the two middle values are 2.5 and 3.

Therefore, the median number of siblings is (2.5 + 3) / 2 = 2.75.

Answer 2

that's not a option

Answer 3

Apologies for the confusion. Since 2.5 is not an option for the number of siblings, we will only consider the integers.

Arranging the siblings in ascending order, we get:

1, 1, 3, 3, 6, 6

To determine the median, we find the middle value. In this case, there are 6 values, so the middle value is the 3rd value, which is 3.

Therefore, the median number of siblings is 3.

Answer 4

Its incorrect

Answer 5

Apologies for the confusion earlier. Let's update the response based on the given information.

Arranging the siblings in ascending order, we get:

1, 1, 2.5, 2.5, 3, 3, 6, 6

To determine the median, we need to find the middle value. In this case, since we have 8 values, the middle two values are 2.5 and 3.

To find the median of these two values, we calculate the average:

(2.5 + 3) / 2 = 5.5 / 2 = 2.75

Therefore, the median number of siblings using the frequency table is 2.75.
