To determine the median score of the player's points, we need to follow these steps:

Step 1: Arrange the Data in Ascending Order

The stem-and-leaf plot already provides the data sorted. Let's list out the points explicitly:

• 13, 16,
• 21, 22, 23, 24, 24, 24,
• 25, 25, 25, 25, 26, 26, 26, 27, 28, 29,
• 30, 30, 30, 32, 32, 33, 34, 34, 34,
• 38, 39,
• 42, 43,
• 47,

So, the ordered list is: 13, 16, 21, 22, 23, 24, 24, 24, 25, 25, 25, 25, 26, 26, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 30, 30, 32, 32, 33, 34, 34, 34, 38, 39, 42, 43, 47, 52

Step 2: Find the Median Position

The median is the middle value when the data is sorted. Since there are 37 scores, the median is at position:

$\text{Median Position} = \frac{n + 1}{2} = \frac{37 + 1}{2} = 19$

Thus, the 19th value in the sorted list is the median.

Step 3: Identify the 19th Value

From the ordered list, counting to the 19th value gives:

30

Final Answer:

The median score is 30 points.

2. How do you calculate the mean of the scores from the given data?
3. What percentage of the games had a score above the median?
4. How do outliers impact measures of central tendency like the mean or median?
5. What is the range of scores in the data set?

Tip:

Always double-check whether the number of data points is odd or even when finding the median! For even counts, take the average of the two middle values.
