Let's go through the solution step by step to find both the median and the range for Janisa's scores.
First, let's list out Janisa's scores as provided:
- 10
- 10
- 8
- 8
- 3
To find the median, we follow these steps:
1. Order the scores: We'll arrange the scores in ascending order:
[tex]\[
3, 8, 8, 10, 10
\][/tex]
2. Determine the middle score: Since there are 5 scores (an odd number), the median is the middle score.
- The third score in the ordered list is 8.
Therefore, the median score is 8.
Next, let's find the range of the scores:
1. Identify the highest score: 10
2. Identify the lowest score: 3
3. Calculate the range: Subtract the lowest score from the highest score:
[tex]\[
10 - 3 = 7
\][/tex]
Therefore, the range of the scores is 7.
Thus, the correct results for the median and the range of Janisa's scores are as follows:
- The median is 8.
- The range is 7.
So the correct option is:
- The median is 8, and the range is 7.
