The back-to-back stem-and-leaf plot below shows the ages of patients seen by two doctors in a family clinic in one day. Compare the ages of the patients of Doctor 1 and Doctor 2 using the mean and the median of each data set. MEDAL?

Respuesta :

The Median of that data is the number in the middle of a set of numbers from least to greatest..

Mean of the data is the average ages of the patients which can be expressed by adding all ages together from 1 doctor and dividing it by the amount of ages there are.

Answer:

Doctor 1 : Mean = 12     /     Median = 12

Doctor 2 : Mean = 16     /     Median = 18.5

Data from the stem and leaf plot :

Doctor 1:   Age of the patients:   1, 1, 2, 3, 7, 9, 15, 17, 18, 20, 22, 29

Doctor 2 :  Age of the patients:   2, 2, 3, 9, 13, 17, 20, 20, 22, 23, 26, 35

Both doctor 1 and 2 had 12 patients that day.
