Question

Item 3 Eleven Fahrenheit temperatures are shown on a map during a weather report. When the temperatures are ordered from least to greatest, the middle temperature is below 0°F. Do you know exactly how many of the temperatures are represented by negative numbers? Explain

Answer 1

Answer:

5 of the temperatures are represented by negative numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the median, we need to order from the lowest to the highest and select the middle number.

For 0 to be the middle number, it means that there are equal positive numbers as well as equal negative numbers.

Hence, we have 5 numbers to the left of zero and 5 numbers to the right of zero

Hence, we can say that 5 of the temperatures are represented by negative numbers
