is 83.5. What is the median of the set of six numbers? Express your answer as a decimal to the nearest tenth.
Jun C. answered • 03/26/20
mean = (sum of the numbers)/(total counts of the numbers)
83.5 = (87 + 85 + 80 + 83 + 84 + x)/(6)
x = 82
Sort the numbers in order: {80, 82, 83, 84, 85, 87}
median = (83 + 84)/2 = 83.5
