Question

Rizzo surveys the students in his class, asking how many pets they have. Here are his collected results: 0, 2, 1, 2, 0, 0, 4, 3, 2, 1. However, over the weekend, a new student enrolled in the class and reported that he has 1 pet. What is the new median of this dataset?(1 point)

Answer 1

To find the new median of the dataset, we first need to arrange the numbers in ascending order:

0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 4

Since there are 10 numbers in the dataset, the median will be the average of the two middle numbers.

The two middle numbers are the 5th and 6th numbers in the arranged list: 1 and 2.

Therefore, the new median of this dataset is:

(1 + 2) / 2 = 3 / 2 = 1.5

Answer 2

NO

Answer 3

I apologize for the mistake in my previous response. Let me recalculate the median.

After adding the new student's response (1 pet), the dataset will be:

0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 4

There are 11 numbers in the dataset, and the median will be the middle number when the numbers are arranged in ascending order.

The middle number is the 6th number in this case, which is 1.

So, the new median of this dataset is 1.
