Answer:
14
Step-by-step explanation:
Step-1: Prepare a table that represents the number of dots above a specific number:
[tex]\text{Dots above 10}: || \\ \text{Dots above 12}: | \\ \text{Dots above 13}: | \\ \text{Dots above 14}: | \\ \text{Dots above 15}: | \\ \text{Dots above 18}: | \\ \text{Dots above 19}: ||[/tex]
Step-2: Put the values in ascending or descending upon your choice:
[tex]10, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 18, 19, 19[/tex]
Step-3: Determine wether the total number of digits in the data is even or odd. This will help us find the median.
[tex]\text{9 digits in total}\\\\\text{The number of digits is \underline{odd}}[/tex]
Since the number of digits is odd, we will use the formula (a + 1)/2
(where a is the number of digits in the data)
Step-4: Substitute the number of digits in the formula.
⇒ (a + 1)/2th
⇒ (9 + 1)/2th
⇒ (10)/2th
⇒ 5th digit is median
Step-5: Look for the 5th digit in the data. That digit is your median.
[tex]10, 10, 12, 13, \underline{\underline{14}}, 15, 18, 19, 19[/tex]
The median of the dot plot is 14.
