Correct! The average is 9.2 and the median is 9.
Sorry,the average is 9.2 and the median is 9. To calculate the average we add all the numbers together: 4 + 10 + 8 + 9 + 15 = 46 and then divide by the number of items we have (five): 46/5 = 9.2. To calculate the median, we arrange the numbers from lowest to highest and find the middle-most value, in this case, 9.

Correct! The average cost of their dinners is $31.
Sorry,the average cost of their dinners is $38. To calculate the average we add up the cost of each meal: 27 + 38 + 28 = 93. We then divide this total cost by three (the number of people) and get 93/3 = $31.

Correct! The average is 9 and the median is 6.
Sorry, the average is 9 and the median is 6. To calculate the average we add all the numbers together: 3 + 6 + 18 = 27. Then we divide by the number of items we have (three): 27/3 = 9. To calculate the median we arrange the numbers from lowest to highest and find the middle-most value, in this case 6.

Correct! The median price is $7.00.
Sorry, the median price is $7.00. With an even number of elements we calculate the median by taking the average of the two middle-most values:(6.00+8.00)/2=$7.00.

Correct! The average is 9 and the median is 8.
Sorry, the average is 9 and the median is 8. To calculate the average we add all the numbers together: 18 + 1 + 5 + 6 + 12 + 13 + 8 = 63 and then divide by the number of items we have (seven): 63/7 = 9. To calculate the median we arrange the numbers from lowest to highest and find the middle-most value, in this case 8.

Correct! The average price paid is $82.50.
Sorry, the average price paid is $82.50. To calculate the average price paid we first calculate the total paid: 5 × 100 + 3 × 75 + 2 ×50 = $825. We then divide the total amount paid by the number of people (10): $825/10 = $82.50.
