Respuesta :

the answer will be 62

Solution:

we are given with a dot plot where we can see that the number of visitors.

we have been asked to find the median of the data set.

From the data plot , we can write the data set as below

56,56,56,56,58,58,60,62,62,62,63,65,65,68,68.

Here the data set is already arranged in the ascending order.

Now if the number of data points in the data set is odd then middle number is the median.

If the number of data points  in the data set is even then the sum of middle two divided by 2 gives the median.

Here the number of data points in the data set is odd.

So the median is 8th value from any side.

Hence the median of the given data set is 62.
