How do you use median in maths?
The median is a measure of central tendency. In a set of data, it is the value such that half the observed values are larger and half are smaller.
How do you compare data sets using box-and-whisker plots?
You can see which has the largest spread of data.... Where the extreme values lie... The bigger the box the wider the spread of half of the data... and vice versa
What is the median of a set of values?
the median is a value of which half of all the values are less than, and half of all the values are greater than.
The middle number in a set of data showing that half of the data falls and half comes after it?
median
What information is viewed on a box and whisker plot?
It is an overview of the distribution of a data set. The values that are plotted are:the minimum,the lower quartile (a quarter of the data points are smaller),the median (half the data points are smaller),the upper quartile (a quarter of the data points are larger),the maximum.
A single, extremely large value can affect the median more than the mean?
A single, extremely large value can affect the median more than the mean because One-half of all the data values will fall above the mode, and one-half will fall below the mode. In a data set, the mode will always be unique. The range and midrange are both measures of variation.
What is the median in a set of data?
The middle value so half the data is above it and half the data is below it. It is often used because extreme values tend to affect it less than other measures of central tendency. If you have an even number of data points, the median is the mean of those two points. ( So you add the two values and divided by two)

What is the median to 3 50g 5 100g 6 150g?
The median is the value that is in 'the middle'. That is, half the values fall below it, half above it. There are a total of 3 + 5 + 6 = 14 sample values. There is no 'middle' value exactly since there are an even number of values. Both the 7th and the 8th largest value are 100 g. Their average is 100 g. Therefore, the median of this sample is 100 g.
How do you find the inner and outer quartiles?
To find the inner quartiles (Q1 and Q3), first arrange your data in ascending order. Q1 is the median of the lower half of the data, and Q3 is the median of the upper half. The inner quartiles divide the data into four equal parts. The outer quartiles also known as the minimum and maximum values, are the smallest and largest values in the data set.
The Value which has half of the observations above it and half the observations below it is called?
The value you are referring to is the median. It represents the middle value in a dataset when the values are arranged in ascending or descending order. It divides the dataset into two equal parts, with half of the observations falling above it and half falling below it.
Is a 1945-S half dollar worth more than a 1945-D half dollar?
In all lower values they have the same value. Is values above MS60 the 1945-S takes a higher value.

True or false in a data plot about half the data points will lie below the line of best fit?
True. In a data plot, the line of best fit represents the average trend of the data. Therefore, approximately half of the data points should lie below the line of best fit and half should lie above it if the data is evenly distributed.
What is the median if the range is 8-20?
It's impossible to tell given the data. The median is the value dividing the half of the elements above the value and the half below it.
What does it mean to extrapolate?
To extrapolate is to predict future data from the trends in your current data. If a half inch of rain fell the day before yesterday, and one inch yesterday, and two inches today, we might extrapolate and conclude that three-and-a-half inches will fall tomorrow, and that a week from now two feet of rain will fall.
What is the median of a set of values?
the median is a value of which half of all the values are less than, and half of all the values are greater than.
