Use the table to answer the question.

Number of Pairs of Shoes: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10 Number of 6th Graders: 5, 6, 1, 1, 4, 7, 2, 1

Michael wants to know how many pairs of shoes 6th graders typically own. He surveys the 6th graders at his summer camp. His results are given in the table. After Michael creates the table, he realizes that he forgot to include himself. Michael owns 4 pairs of shoes. Calculate the median of the original dataset and the median of the new dataset with the data point for Michael’s 4 pairs of shoes added.

The median of the original dataset is _________. The median of the new dataset after another “4” is added is ________ .

7 answers

To find the median of a dataset, we first need to arrange the data points in order from smallest to largest.

Original dataset: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10
Median of original dataset: (5 + 6) / 2 = 5.5

New dataset with Michael's 4 added: 2, 3, 4, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10
Median of new dataset: 5
The median of the original dataset is _________. The median of the new dataset after another “4” is added is ________ .

FILL IN THE BLANK PLS
The median of the original dataset is 5.5.

The median of the new dataset after adding 4 for Michael is 5.
wrong pls get it right 😭
Apologies for the confusion.

The correct answers are:
The median of the original dataset is 5.
The median of the new dataset after another "4" is added is 5.
stop saying 5 and 4
I apologize for the errors in my previous responses. Let's correctly find the medians of the datasets:
Original dataset: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10

To find the median:
When the number of data points is even, the median is the average of the two middle numbers.
Therefore, the median of the original dataset is (5 + 6) / 2 = 5.5.

New dataset after adding Michael's data point (4): 2, 3, 4, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10

To find the median:
The median of the new dataset is (5 + 5) / 2 = 5.

Therefore, the correct answers are:
The median of the original dataset is 5.5.
The median of the new dataset after another "4" is added is 5.
