Excellent!
Incorrect
The median is the middle value in an ordered set of data.To find the median, fill in the Cumulative Frequency column by adding the frequency, as seen below.Score `(x)` Frequency `(f)` Cumulative Frequency 0 6 6 1 10 6+10=16 2 6 16+6=22 3 4 22+4=26 4 3 26+3=29 5 0 29+0=29 6 1 29+1=30 `\text(Total)=30` To check, the last entry in the Cumulative Frequency column must be equal to the
Total Frequency.Since the total number of scores is `30`, the middle score should be the average of the `15`th and `16`th score.Find the row that includes the `15`th and `16`th scores.Score `(x)` Frequency `(f)` Cumulative Frequency 0 6 6 1 10 6+10=16 2 6 10+6=16 3 4 6+4=10 4 3 4+3=7 5 0 3+0=3 6 1 0+1=1 `\text(Total)=30` The second row covers all scores between the `6`th and `16`th position — this includes the `15`th and `16`th.Hence, the median is `1`.`\text(Median)=1` -

Total Frequency.Since the total number of scores is `42`, the middle score should be the average of the `21`st and `22`nd score.Find the row that includes the `21`st and `22`nd score.Score `(x)` Frequency `(f)` Cumulative Frequency 2 2 2 3 5 2+5=7 4 10 7+10=17 5 12 17+12=29 6 8 29+8=37 7 5 37+5=42 `\text(Total)=42` The fourth row covers all scores between the `17`th and `29`th position — this includes the `21`st and `22`nd.Get the average of the two scores to get the median.`\text(Median)` `=` `(5+5)/2` `=` `10/2` `=` `5` `\text(Median)=5` -
Question 3 of 8
3. Question
Use this cumulative frequency histogram to find the median.
Hours spent studying for an exam
- `\text(Median )=` (3)
Correct
Keep Going!
Incorrect
The median is the middle value in an ordered set of data.Find the middle value in the cumulative frequency axis (left side).Since the highest value is `20`, simply divide it by `2`.`20/2` `=` `10` Trace a horizontal line from `color(darkgoldenrod)(10)` until it touches part of the polygon.
Notice that it touches the polygon across the bar for the score `3`.Hence, the median is `3`.`\text(Median)=3` -

Incorrect
The median is the middle value in an ordered set of data.First, get the sum of the Frequency column.Games `(x)` Frequency `(f)` 4 2 5 2 6 3 7 4 `\text(Total)=11` Next, add a Cumulative Frequency column to the table.To find the median, fill in the Cumulative Frequency column by adding the frequency, as seen below.Game `(x)` Frequency `(f)` Cumulative Frequency 4 2 2 5 2 2+2=4 6 3 4+3=7 7 4 7+4=11 `\text(Total)=11` To check, the last entry in the Cumulative Frequency column must be equal to the
Total Frequency.Since the total number of scores is `11`, the middle score should be the `6`th score.Find the row that includes the `6`th score.Game `(x)` Frequency `(f)` Cumulative Frequency 4 2 2 5 2 2+2=4 6 3 4+3=7 7 4 7+4=11 `\text(Total)=11` The third row covers all scores between the `5`th and `7`th position — this includes the `6`th.Hence, the median is `6`.`\text(Median)=6` -

Incorrect
The median is the middle value in an ordered set of data.First, get the sum of the Frequency column.No. of Awards `(x)` Frequency `(f)` 2 1 3 3 4 4 5 3 7 1 8 2 9 1 `\text(Total)=15` Next, add a Cumulative Frequency column to the table.To find the median, fill in the Cumulative Frequency column by adding the frequency, as seen below.No. of Awards `(x)` Frequency `(f)` Cumulative Frequency 2 1 1 3 3 1+3=4 4 4 4+4=8 5 3 8+3=11 7 1 11+1=12 8 2 12+2=14 9 1 14+1=15 `\text(Total)=15` To check, the last entry in the Cumulative Frequency column must be equal to the
Total Frequency.Since the total number of scores is `15`, the middle score should be the `8`th score.Find the row that includes the `8`th score.No. of Awards `(x)` Frequency `(f)` Cumulative Frequency 2 1 1 3 3 1+3=4 4 4 4+4=8 5 3 8+3=11 7 1 11+1=12 8 2 12+2=14 9 1 14+1=15 `\text(Total)=15` The third row covers all scores between the `5`th and `8`th position — this includes the `8`th.Hence, the median is `4`.`\text(Median)=4` -
Question 6 of 8
6. Question

Hours spent driving per week
- `\text(Median )=` (4)
Correct
Keep Going!
Incorrect
The median is the middle value in an ordered set of data.Find the middle value in the cumulative frequency axis (left side).Since the highest value is `30`, simply divide it by `2`.`30/2` `=` `15` Trace a horizontal line from `color(darkgoldenrod)(15)` until it touches part of the polygon.
Notice that it touches the polygon across the bar for the score `4`.Hence, the median is `4`.`\text(Median)=4` -

Well Done!
Incorrect
The median is the middle value in an ordered set of data.Create a cumulative frequency polygon by connecting the top-right corners of each bar using straight lines, as shown here.
Find the middle value in the cumulative frequency axis (left side).Since the highest value is `60`, simply divide it by `2`.`60/2` `=` `30` Trace a horizontal line from `30` until it touches part of the polygon.
Notice that it touches the polygon across the bar for the score `15`.Hence, the median is `15`.`\text(Median)=15` -
Question 8 of 8

Exceptional!
Incorrect
The median is the middle value in an ordered set of data.First, fill in the Cumulative Frequency column by adding the frequency, as seen below.Score `(x)` Frequency `(f)` Cumulative Frequency 2 3 3 3 2 3+2=5 4 5 5+5=10 5 6 10+6=16 6 9 16+9=25 7 12 25+12=37 8 3 37+3=40 `\text(Total)=40` To check, the last entry in the Cumulative Frequency column must be equal to the
Total Frequency.Next, create a graph with the Score `(x)` values on the bottom side and the Cumulative Frequency values on the left side.
Next, add bars to the graph corresponding to the cumulative frequency per score.Score `(x)` Frequency `(f)` Cumulative Frequency 2 3 3 3 2 3+2=5 4 5 5+5=10 5 6 10+6=16 6 9 16+9=25 7 12 25+12=37 8 3 37+3=40 `\text(Total)=40` 
Continue adding bars until all the scores are accounted for.
Next, create a cumulative frequency polygon by connecting the top-right corners of each bar using straight lines, as shown here.
Find the middle value in the cumulative frequency axis (left side).Since the highest value is `40`, simply divide it by `2`.`40/2` `=` `20` Trace a horizontal line from `20` until it touches part of the polygon.
Notice that it touches the polygon across the bar for the score `6`.Hence, the median is `6`.`\text(Median)=6`
