1. Problem Description
The problem asks to find the median of the number of computers in classrooms based on the given data: Mrs. Jansen (4), Mrs. Rossi (3), Mr. Schmidt (4), Ms. Rojas (5), Miss Murphy (4), Mr. Watson (4), and Ms. Cohen (7).
2. Solution Steps
To find the median, we first need to sort the numbers in ascending order.
The given numbers are 4, 3, 4, 5, 4, 4,
7. Sorting these numbers gives us: 3, 4, 4, 4, 4, 5,
7.
The median is the middle value in the sorted list. Since there are 7 numbers in the list, the middle number is the (7+1)/2 = 4th number.
The 4th number in the sorted list 3, 4, 4, 4, 4, 5, 7 is
4.
