Finding the Median from a Frequency Table

In this video, Mr. J explains how to find the median from a frequency table. He uses an example of bike ride distances to demonstrate the process. The steps include listing the values from least to greatest and then counting to find the middle value, which is the median. The video concludes with a summary of the method and its application.

What is the median in a data set?

• The middle value

• The most frequently occurring value

• The average value

• The smallest value

What does the frequency table in the example represent?

• The time taken for each bike ride

• The speed of bike rides

• The number of bike rides per day

• The distances of bike rides over a month

What is the first step in finding the median from a frequency table?

• List the values from greatest to least

• Find the mode

• List the values from least to greatest

• Calculate the average

How many times does the distance of 7 miles occur in the example?

• Twice

• Five times

• Six times

• Three times

What is the next step after listing the values from least to greatest?

• Rearrange the values

• Count off values from each side to find the middle

• Find the mode

• Calculate the sum of all values

What is the median distance in the example provided?

• 9 miles

• 8 miles

• 7 miles

• 10 miles

Why is it important to label the median with the correct unit?

• To make the data look more professional

• To ensure accuracy in calculations

• To provide context to the value

• To compare with other data sets

What is the final step in finding the median from a frequency table?

• Recheck the frequency table

• Label the median with the correct unit

• Calculate the average

• Find the mode

What is the purpose of the video tutorial?

• To show how to create a frequency table

• To teach how to calculate the average

• To explain how to find the mode

• To demonstrate how to find the median from a frequency table
