Q. Lupe's dogs love to hide bones. Bubba hid 55 bones, Barry hid 44 bones, Larry hid 1313 bones, and Goby hid 1010 bones.\newlineFind the median number of bones. bones
  1. List Bones by Number: List the number of bones each dog hid in numerical order.\newlineBubba hid 55 bones, Barry hid 44 bones, Larry hid 1313 bones, and Goby hid 1010 bones.\newlineOrdering these from least to greatest: 44, 55, 1010, 1313.
  2. Find Median: Determine the median of the ordered set.\newlineSince there are an even number of data points (44 dogs), the median will be the average of the two middle numbers.\newlineThe two middle numbers are 55 and 1010.
  3. Calculate Average: Calculate the average of the two middle numbers.\newlineThe average of 55 and 1010 is (5+10)/2=15/2=7.5(5 + 10) / 2 = 15 / 2 = 7.5.
