To find the median number of siblings, we first need to rearrange the data in ascending order:
0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5
There are a total of 24 6th graders surveyed.
Since 24 is an even number, the median will be the average of the 12th and 13th values in the sorted list:
Median = (2 + 2) / 2 = 2
Therefore, the median number of siblings for the 6th graders that Kaylen surveyed is 2.
Kaylen wants to know how many siblings 6th graders have. She surveys the 6th graders on her soccer team. Her results are given in the table. What is the median number of siblings for the 6th graders that she surveyed? Number of siblings: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Number of 6th graders: 3, 12, 5, 2, 0, 2.

are u sure?
I apologize for the error in my previous response. Let's correct it.
After sorting the data in ascending order, we get:
0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5
There are a total of 24 6th graders surveyed.
Since there is an even number of values (24), the median will be the average of the two middle values, which are the 12th and 13th values:
Median = (2 + 2) / 2 = 2
Therefore, the correct median number of siblings for the 6th graders that Kaylen surveyed is 2. Thank you for pointing out the error, and I appreciate your attention to detail.

i dont have an option that says 2 so would be it be 3 siblings, 2.5 siblings, 1 sibling, or 1.58 siblings?
Since the median is calculated as the average of the middle two values in an ordered data set, we computed the median to be 2 siblings. Since 2 siblings is not an option provided in your choices, we can consider the median as the value closest to the average of the two middle values, which is 2 siblings.
Among the options given:
- 3 siblings is not the median in this case.
- 2.5 siblings is not present in the data set and is not close to the average of 2 siblings.
- 1 sibling is significantly lower than the median value.
- 1.58 siblings is not a whole number and might be misleading in this context.
So, the closest option among the provided choices to the computed median of 2 siblings would be 1 sibling.
