Answer:
d = 261 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
The distances (in miles) driven in the past week by each of a company's sales representatives are listed below.
78 126 238 284 310 356
We need to find the median of the distances.
There are 6 data. If n is even,
[tex]median =\dfrac{\dfrac{n}{2}^{th}+(\dfrac{n}{2}+1)^{th}}{2}\\\\median =\dfrac{\dfrac{6}{2}^{th}+(\dfrac{6}{2}+1)^{th}}{2}\\\\=\dfrac{3^{rd}+4^{th}}{2}\\\\=\dfrac{238+284}{2}\\\\=261\ mi[/tex]
So, the median distance is 261 miles.
