hi,
the front row in a movie theater has 23 seats. if you asked to sit in the seat that occupied the median positin, in which seat would you have to sit.
seat
1
11
23
12
i think i have to go and find the median
arrange the data set in order from least to greatest
1,11,12,23
ids the data set has 4 numbers so it is even
11 + 12=23/2= 11.5
but 11.5 is not a seat, so what to do?
thanks,
eddy
