Cevap

The median number of vehicles serviced is 1010.
To find the median, the values must first be ordered from least to greatest: 44, 55, 1010, 1111, 1515. The median is the middle number in this ordered list, which is 1010.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Arrange the numbers in ascending order.
44, 55, 1010, 1111, 1515
The median requires the data set to be sorted from least to greatest.
2
Identify the middle value in the sorted list.
The middle value is 1010.
Since there is an odd number of values in the list (five days), the median is exactly the middle number.
