The midpoint between two numbers x and y on the real number line is (x+y)/2.
1. Find the coordinates of the midpoint (Q1) of AB in therms of x and y.
2. Find the coordinates of the midpoint (Q2) of BC in terms of x and y.
3. In the given example, AC represens a distribution. what does point B represent in the distribution?
The median
The median divides the distribution into two equal parts. It is a point in the distribution where one-half lies below and the other half above it. One-half of the distribution lies below B and one-half lies above it. Hence, B represents the median
