11. ANSWER:
Step 1 : ordered the values from least to greatest
2 , 3 , 4 , 6 , 7 , 10 , 12
Step 2 : remove one from left and one from right tell you
reach the middle
2 , 3 , 4 , 6 , 7 , 10 , 12
2 , 3 , 4 , 6 , 7 , 10 , 12
2 , 3 , 4 , 6 , 7 , 10 , 12
So the median = 6
A ) B )
Step 1 : ordered the values from least to greatest
1.65 , 1.97 ,2.35 ,2.45 , 2.49 , 2.87 ,2.87 ,3.75
Step 2 : remove one from left and one from right tell
you reach the middle
1.65 , 1.97 ,2.35 ,2.45 , 2.49 , 2.87 ,2.87 ,3.75
because there is an even number of data values find
the two values closest to the middle
1.65 , 1.97 ,2.35 ,2.45 , 2.49 , 2.87 ,2.87 ,3.75
1.65 , 1.97 ,2.35 ,2.45 , 2.49 , 2.87 ,2.87 ,3.75
1.65 , 1.97 ,2.35 ,2.45 , 2.49 , 2.87 ,2.87 ,3.75
Step 3 : find the median of the two middle data : 2.45 , 2.49
Mean =
π.ππ+π.ππ
π
=
π.ππ
π
= 2.47
So the median of the data is 2.47

COMPARE SCHOOL A
and B :
The mean absolute
deviation for school A is
greater than that for
school B . This means
the scores for school B
are closer together and
clustered around the
mean . The scores for
school A are more
spread out and not as
clustered around the
mean.
