Tomás found the following prices when he was shopping for sports jerseys: $28, $36, $40, $30, and $28. What is the median price? (1 point) Responses $28 $28 $30 $30 $32.40 $32.40 $40 $40

Answer 1

To find the median price from the list of prices \(28, 36, 40, 30, 28\), we first need to arrange the prices in ascending order:

1. Arrange the prices: \(28, 28, 30, 36, 40\)
2. Count the number of prices: there are 5 prices.
3. Since the number of prices is odd, the median is the middle value. In a sorted list of 5 numbers, the median is the 3rd number.

Looking at the ordered list:

• 1st: \(28\)
• 2nd: \(28\)
• 3rd: \(30\)
• 4th: \(36\)
• 5th: \(40\)

The median price is \(30\).

Hence, the median price is $30.
