The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety publishes data on the total damage suffered by compact automobiles in a series of controlled, low-speed collisions. The cost for a sample of nine cars, in hundreds of dollars, is provided below[10 6 8 10 4 3.5 7.5 8 9] What is the median cost of the total damage suffered for this sample of cars?

The median cost of the total damage suffered for this sample of cars is 8 thousand dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

The median is the value that separates the lower 50% of the values from the upper 50%.

The first step is placing the values in order.

So

[10 6 8 10 4 3.5 7.5 8 9]

Ordered

[3.5 4 6 7.5 8 8 9 10 10]

The sample has an odd size, which is 9.

So the median is the element at the position (9+1)/2 = 5, which is 8

So the median cost of the total damage suffered for this sample of cars is 8 thousand dollars.

step-by-step explanation:

a cube has 6 sides

the probability of getting 5 on the first cube is 1/6 since only one side of the cube has 5 on it.

there are 3 sides of the cube with even number on it [2,4,6]

therefore the probability of getting even number is 3/6

for both events to happen together, the probability would be

1/6 x 3/6 = 12/36

which simplifies to 1/12
