Since the median is 21.5, 50% of people are older than 21.5 and 50% are younger. Since we know the maximum is 36, we can deduce that 50% of people are older than 21.5 and 50% are younger.
Since the minimum is 10 and the maximum is 36, we can calculate that 66.6% of people are younger than 24.
Therefore, the percentage of people older than 24 would be 100% - 66.6% = 33.4%.
So, 33.4% of people are older than 24.
IF the minimum is 10 the median is 21.5 and the maximum is 36 then what percentage of people are older than 24?

it says its wrong
I apologize for the mistake in the previous calculations. Let's correct it:
Given:
Minimum = 10
Median = 21.5
Maximum = 36
Since the median divides the data into two equal parts, 50% of the data is younger than the median and 50% is older than the median.
Now, we need to calculate the percentage of people who are older than 24.
Since the maximum is 36 and the median is 21.5:
- 50% of people are older than 21.5 (between 21.5 and 36).
- The percentage of people older than 24 (between 24 and 36) can be calculated as:
= (Percentage of people older than 21.5) - (Percentage of people younger than 24 but older than 21.5)
= 50% - percentage of people younger than 24
= 50% - percentage of people younger than 24 and older than 21.5
Since we know the minimum is 10 and the median is 21.5:
- The percentage of people younger than 24 can be calculated as:
= (Percentage of people younger than 21.5) + (Percentage of people younger than 24 but older than 21.5)
= 50% + percentage of people younger than 24
To find the percentage of people younger than 24, we need to calculate the proportion of the distance from the minimum to 24 compared to the total distance:
Proportion = (24 - 10) / (36 - 10) = 14 / 26 ≈ 0.5385
Therefore, the percentage of people younger than 24 is:
Percentage of people younger than 24 = (50% * 0.5385) ≈ 26.92%
Now, let's calculate the percentage of people older than 24:
Percentage of people older than 24 = 50% - 26.92% = 23.08%
Therefore, approximately 23.08% of people are older than 24.
Given:
Minimum = 10
Median = 21.5
Maximum = 36
Since the median divides the data into two equal parts, 50% of the data is younger than the median and 50% is older than the median.
Now, we need to calculate the percentage of people who are older than 24.
Since the maximum is 36 and the median is 21.5:
- 50% of people are older than 21.5 (between 21.5 and 36).
- The percentage of people older than 24 (between 24 and 36) can be calculated as:
= (Percentage of people older than 21.5) - (Percentage of people younger than 24 but older than 21.5)
= 50% - percentage of people younger than 24
= 50% - percentage of people younger than 24 and older than 21.5
Since we know the minimum is 10 and the median is 21.5:
- The percentage of people younger than 24 can be calculated as:
= (Percentage of people younger than 21.5) + (Percentage of people younger than 24 but older than 21.5)
= 50% + percentage of people younger than 24
To find the percentage of people younger than 24, we need to calculate the proportion of the distance from the minimum to 24 compared to the total distance:
Proportion = (24 - 10) / (36 - 10) = 14 / 26 ≈ 0.5385
Therefore, the percentage of people younger than 24 is:
Percentage of people younger than 24 = (50% * 0.5385) ≈ 26.92%
Now, let's calculate the percentage of people older than 24:
Percentage of people older than 24 = 50% - 26.92% = 23.08%
Therefore, approximately 23.08% of people are older than 24.
IF the minimum is 10 the median is 21.5 and the maximum is 36 and 11 people are older than 24 then what PERCENTAGE of people are older than 24?
Given:
Minimum = 10
Median = 21.5
Maximum = 36
Number of people older than 24 = 11
Since the median is 21.5, 50% of people are older than 21.5 and 50% are younger.
Out of 11 people who are older than 24, how many are older than the median (21.5)?
11 - (number of people younger than 24 but older than 21.5)
Since 50% of people are older than 21.5, the number of people older than 21.5 = 11
Therefore, the remaining people out of the 11 who are older than 24 are younger than 21.5.
Now, let's find the percentage of people who are older than 24:
Percentage of people older than 24 = (Number of people older than 24 / Total number of people) * 100
Percentage of people older than 24 = (11 / Total number of people) * 100
Since we know that the median separates the data into two equal halves:
Total number of people = 2 * (Number of people older than 24)
Total number of people = 2 * 11 = 22
Plugging in the values:
Percentage of people older than 24 = (11 / 22) * 100
Percentage of people older than 24 = 50%
Therefore, 50% of people are older than 24.
Minimum = 10
Median = 21.5
Maximum = 36
Number of people older than 24 = 11
Since the median is 21.5, 50% of people are older than 21.5 and 50% are younger.
Out of 11 people who are older than 24, how many are older than the median (21.5)?
11 - (number of people younger than 24 but older than 21.5)
Since 50% of people are older than 21.5, the number of people older than 21.5 = 11
Therefore, the remaining people out of the 11 who are older than 24 are younger than 21.5.
Now, let's find the percentage of people who are older than 24:
Percentage of people older than 24 = (Number of people older than 24 / Total number of people) * 100
Percentage of people older than 24 = (11 / Total number of people) * 100
Since we know that the median separates the data into two equal halves:
Total number of people = 2 * (Number of people older than 24)
Total number of people = 2 * 11 = 22
Plugging in the values:
Percentage of people older than 24 = (11 / 22) * 100
Percentage of people older than 24 = 50%
Therefore, 50% of people are older than 24.
50 Is wrong
Let's recalculate:
Given:
Minimum = 10
Median = 21.5
Maximum = 36
Number of people older than 24 = 11
Since the median divides the data into two equal parts, 50% of the data is younger than the median and 50% is older than the median.
Out of the 11 people who are older than 24:
- Some are younger than 21.5 (median), and the rest are older than 21.5.
Since the median is 21.5, exactly 50% of the data is older than 21.5 (between 21.5 and 36).
To find the percentage of people who are older than 24:
- 50% are older than the median (21.5)
- Some of the remaining 50% are older than 24
We know the total number of people is 11, and they are older than 24.
Let x be the number of people older than 24 but younger than the median (21.5).
The total number of people older than 24 = 11
The number of people older than 21.5 = 11 - x
Since 50% of people are older than 21.5:
(11 - x) = 0.5 * 11
11 - x = 5.5
x = 11 - 5.5
x = 5.5
Therefore, 5.5 people are older than 24 but younger than 21.5.
The percentage of people who are older than 24:
= (Number of people older than 24 / Total number of people) * 100
= (11 / 22) * 100
= 50%
Therefore, the correct percentage of people who are older than 24 is 50%.
Given:
Minimum = 10
Median = 21.5
Maximum = 36
Number of people older than 24 = 11
Since the median divides the data into two equal parts, 50% of the data is younger than the median and 50% is older than the median.
Out of the 11 people who are older than 24:
- Some are younger than 21.5 (median), and the rest are older than 21.5.
Since the median is 21.5, exactly 50% of the data is older than 21.5 (between 21.5 and 36).
To find the percentage of people who are older than 24:
- 50% are older than the median (21.5)
- Some of the remaining 50% are older than 24
We know the total number of people is 11, and they are older than 24.
Let x be the number of people older than 24 but younger than the median (21.5).
The total number of people older than 24 = 11
The number of people older than 21.5 = 11 - x
Since 50% of people are older than 21.5:
(11 - x) = 0.5 * 11
11 - x = 5.5
x = 11 - 5.5
x = 5.5
Therefore, 5.5 people are older than 24 but younger than 21.5.
The percentage of people who are older than 24:
= (Number of people older than 24 / Total number of people) * 100
= (11 / 22) * 100
= 50%
Therefore, the correct percentage of people who are older than 24 is 50%.
