Answer 1

Answer:9.5 or 19÷2 or 9  1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

ascending order= 2,3,3,4,5,8,9,10,12,16,18,18.5,19,25

Answer 2

Given: $2,4,3,5,3,8,9,12,10,16,18,18.5,19,25$

We have to find the median of the above data.

• As we know that the median is the middle number in a sorted list of numbers.
• So, to find the median, we need to place the numbers in value order and find the middle number.

We are solving in the following way:

We have,

$2,4,3,5,3,8,9,12,10,16,18,18.5,19,25$

Ordering the data from least to greatest, we get:

$2, 3 ,3 ,4 , 5 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 12 , 16 , 18 , 18.5 , 19 ,25$

As we can see, we do not have just one middle number but we have a pair of middle numbers, so the median is the average of these two numbers:

$\text { Median }=>\frac{9+10}{2}=>9.5$

Hence, the median of the above data is$9.5$.
