Question

determine the median. 53, 62, 30, 30, 64 53 52 30 48

Explanation:

Step1: Sort the data

Sort the numbers \(53, 62, 30, 30, 64\) in ascending order: \(30, 30, 53, 62, 64\).

Step2: Find the median

Since there are \(n = 5\) (odd number of data points), the median is the \(\frac{n + 1}{2}\) -th value.
\(\frac{5+1}{2}=3\) -rd value.
The third value in the sorted list \(30, 30, 53, 62, 64\) is \(53\).

Answer:

\(53\)
