Numerical Data: Median

What is the median used to measure?

• The most frequent number

• The average value

• The middle value in a dataset

• The total sum of all numbers

What type of data does the median summarize?

• Categorical data

• Alphabetical data

• Numerical data

• Color data

How do you organize data to find the median?

• Randomly

• Alphabetically

• From greatest to least

• From least to greatest

What is the mode in the context of the lesson?

• The least common number

• The average number

• The highest number

• The most common number

How is data typically organized to find the median?

• From least to greatest

• In a square pattern

• Based on color

• In a circle

What is the first step in summarizing numerical data to find the median?

• Calculating the total sum

• Organizing the data in order

• Finding the mode

• Drawing a graph

What is the median number of pets based on the given data?

• 2

• 9

• 18

• 5

If a dataset has 18 pieces of data, how do you find the median?

• Count 9 spaces from both ends

• Add all numbers and divide by 18

• Pick the first and last number

• Divide the dataset into two

What does it mean if the median and mode are the same?

• It's a coincidence

• The data is incorrect

• The dataset is perfectly balanced

• The median is invalid

How do you find the median in a dataset with an odd number of data points?

• Calculate the average of all numbers

• Choose the largest number

• Pick any number

• Count to the middle number from both sides
