Ms. Nguyen is a real estate agent. One of her clients is considering buying a house in the Silver Lakes area, where 6 houses have recently sold for the following amounts: $160,000; $150,000; $185,000; $180,000; $145,000; $190,000. What should Ms. Nguyen report as the Median price of these houses? 1)$160,000 2)$170,000 3)$180,000 4)$190,000 5)Not enough information is given. Then GED ® test Note: Method for determining median was provided in the test booklet. 17 At your table: 1. Solve both problems 2. Discuss the similarities/differences between the two problems 3. How is the GED 2014 problem more complex? 4. What will we have to do in our classrooms to prepare students to solve the GED 2014 problem?
