Question

Mr. Arnold asked his students how many brothers and sisters they had. The following graph summarizes what he found. A bar graph contains seven bars that touch. The horizontal axis is labeled "Number of siblings" and the vertical axis is labeled "Frequency." The information for the bars, from left to right, is as follows: The bar above 0 is 1 unit high. The bar above 1 is 2 units high. The bar above 2 is 4 units high. The bar above 4 is 2 units high. The bar above 6 is 1 unit high. The bar above 9 is 1 unit high. The bar above 11 is 1 unit high. (a) Determine the mean and the median number of siblings. (Round your mean to one decimal pla

Definition Definition Middle value of a data set. The median divides a data set into two halves, and it also called the 50th percentile. The median is much less affected by outliers and skewed data than the mean. If the number of elements in a dataset is odd, then the middlemost element of the data arranged in ascending or descending order is the median. If the number of elements in the dataset is even, the average of the two central elements of the arranged data is the median of the set. For example, if a dataset has five items—12, 13, 21, 27, 31—the median is the third item in ascending order, or 21. If a dataset has six items—12, 13, 21, 27, 31, 33—the median is the average of the third (21) and fourth (27) items. It is calculated as follows: (21 + 27) / 2 = 24.
