To determine the median number of siblings, we first need to arrange the responses in ascending order:
1, 1, 2.5, 2.5, 3, 3, 6, 6
Next, we count the total number of responses. In this case, we have 8 responses.
Since the total number of responses is even, we take the average of the two middle values. In this case, the two middle values are 2.5 and 3.
Therefore, the median number of siblings is (2.5 + 3) / 2 = 2.75.
that's not a option
Apologies for the confusion. Since 2.5 is not an option for the number of siblings, we will only consider the integers.
Arranging the siblings in ascending order, we get:
1, 1, 3, 3, 6, 6
To determine the median, we find the middle value. In this case, there are 6 values, so the middle value is the 3rd value, which is 3.
Therefore, the median number of siblings is 3.
Its incorrect
Apologies for the confusion earlier. Let's update the response based on the given information.
Arranging the siblings in ascending order, we get:
1, 1, 2.5, 2.5, 3, 3, 6, 6
To determine the median, we need to find the middle value. In this case, since we have 8 values, the middle two values are 2.5 and 3.
To find the median of these two values, we calculate the average:
(2.5 + 3) / 2 = 5.5 / 2 = 2.75
Therefore, the median number of siblings using the frequency table is 2.75.
To determine the median number of siblings, we need to arrange the responses in ascending order:

Now we can calculate the median. Since there are 8 responses, the middle two numbers are the 4th and 5th numbers.
The 4th number is 2.5, and the 5th number is 3. Therefore, the median number of siblings is 2.5.
To determine the median number of siblings using the frequency table, we need to follow these steps:
Step 1: Organize the responses in ascending order.
1, 1, 2.5, 2.5, 3, 3, 6, 6
Step 2: Calculate the cumulative frequency by adding up the frequencies from the frequency table.
1, 2, 4, 6, 8
Step 3: Find the middle position.
The total number of responses is 8, so the middle position is (8 + 1) / 2 = 4.5
Step 4: Determine the median value.
To find the median value, we need to identify the position that corresponds to the middle position. In this case, the middle position falls between the 2nd and 3rd values.
The 2nd value is 2.5, and the 3rd value is 3. So, the median number of siblings is 2.5 + 3 = 5.5.
Therefore, the median number of siblings is 5.5.
