Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
To find the median, we need to first order the data set from smallest to largest:
.15, .19, .25, .27, .31, .36, .83
The median is the middle number, which is .27.
To find the mean, we add up all the numbers and divide by the total number of numbers:
(.15 + .19 + .25 + .27 + .31 + .36 + .83) / 7 = .34
Therefore, the median is .27 and the mean is .34. The best choice that matches this is D.
.15, .19, .25, .27, .31, .36, .83
The median is the middle number, which is .27.
To find the mean, we add up all the numbers and divide by the total number of numbers:
(.15 + .19 + .25 + .27 + .31 + .36 + .83) / 7 = .34
Therefore, the median is .27 and the mean is .34. The best choice that matches this is D.
