Answer :

Answer:

Median of number of cars sold is 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Name  Patrick    Jeffrey  Robbin  Sally  Manuel  Ming  Jesse  Mark Jenna

Sales    8                12        7             15        4         10        12        17       16

We need to find the median number of cars sold.

Solution.

First we will arrange the sales in ascending order.

We get;

Sales of car in ascending order = 4,7,8,10,12,12,15,16,17

Given:

Number of data in the sets = 9

Now to find the median.

Median is equal to number of data in the sets plus 1 divided by 2 term.

framing in equation form we get;

median = [tex](\frac{n+1}{2})^{th}[/tex]

n ⇒ Number of data in the sets.

median = [tex](\frac{9+1}{2})^{th}=(\frac{10}{2})^{th}=5^{th}[/tex]

Hence the fifth data in the set is the median of the number of cars sold.

So we can say that;

Median of number of cars sold is 12.
