Students

Class Section A B C D E F G H
1 2 7 9 9 10 10 7 6
2 10 10 9 8 10 6 9 5
3 6 8 9 9 7 10 10 7
A line with arrows at both ends is labeled 1 to 10 in increments of 1. The title, Quiz Scores, is below the numbers. The dots are stacked above the line in alignment with the numbers on the line. There is 1 dot above 2; 1 dot above 5; 3 dots about 6; 4 dots above 7; 2 dots above 8; 6 dots above 9; and 7 dots above 10.

Mr. Wang gave a test to his students. The spreadsheet shows the quiz scores out of a possibility of 10. What is the median if the 8 is replaced with a 10?

Answer 1

To find the median, we first need to order the scores from least to greatest:

2, 5, 6, 7, 9, 9, 10, 10

If we replace the 8 with a 10, the new list of scores would be:

2, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 10, 10

Since there are an even number of scores (8 scores), the median would be the average of the two middle scores, which are 7 and 9.

(7 + 9) / 2 = 8

Therefore, if the 8 is replaced with a 10, the median score would be 8.

Answer 2

u sure

Answer 3

I apologize for the mistake in my response. Let me correct it:

If we replace the 8 with a 10, the new list of scores would be:

2, 5, 6, 7, 9, 9, 10, 10

Since there are an even number of scores (8 scores), the median would be the average of the two middle scores, which are 7 and 9.

(7 + 9) / 2 = 8

Therefore, if the 8 is replaced with a 10, the median score would still be 8.

Answer 4

idk are YOU sure

Answer 5

I apologize for the confusion earlier. Let's re-evaluate the median when the 8 is replaced with a 10.

If we replace the 8 with a 10, the new list of scores would be:

2, 5, 6, 7, 9, 9, 10, 10

Since there are an even number of scores (8 scores), the median would be the average of the two middle scores, which are 7 and 9.

(7 + 9) / 2 = 8

Therefore, if the 8 is replaced with a 10, the median score would be 8.
