Question

find the median of the baseball batting averages. 0.264 0.211 0.199 0.236 0.283 0.257 0.225 (1 point) 0.240 0.236 0.239 0.235

Explanation:

Step1: Sort the data

Sort the batting averages in ascending order:
$$0.199, 0.211, 0.225, 0.236, 0.257, 0.264, 0.283$$

Step2: Find the median

Since there are \(n = 7\) (odd number) data points, the median is the \(\frac{n + 1}{2}\) -th value.
\(\frac{7+1}{2}=4\) -th value.
The 4 -th value in the sorted list is \(0.236\).

Answer:

\(0.236\) (corresponding to the second option)
