Respuesta :

Answer: Median = 94 inches

Explanation:

The first term is to write the data from the stem and leaf plot in ascending order. We have

71, 73, 73, 75, 76, 82, 84, 85, 93, 95, 96, 101, 101, 102, 104, 105

The median = middle term

number of 10 = 16

positimn of iddle term = 1(6 + 1)/2 = 8 5

It is between 93 and 95

Thus,

median = (93 + 95)/2

Median = 94 inches
