Number of Siblings Siblings Tally Frequency 0 |||| 4 1 |||| | 6 2 ||| 3 3 ||| 3 4 0 5 || 2 A group of students were asked how many siblings they have. Determine the median number of siblings. (1 point) Responses 2.5 2.5 6 6 1 1 3

Answer 1

To determine the median number of siblings, we need to list the responses in order from least to greatest:

0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 5, 5, 6, 6

Since there are 20 responses, the middle value (or values, if there are an even number) will give us the median.

In this case, the median is the average of the two middle values:

Median = (2 + 3) / 2 = 2.5

Therefore, the median number of siblings is 2.5.
