Question

The stem-and-leaf plot shows the ages of a group of friends. Find the median age.
2 8
3 124
4 279
5 4

Answer 1

To find the median age, we first need to arrange the ages in ascending order:

24, 28, 29, 34, 37, 39, 44, 45, 47

There are a total of 9 ages, which is an odd number. The median is the middle value when the ages are arranged in ascending order.

Therefore, the median age is 37.
