What would the median number be of the numbers 1234567890?

Ans. 4.5 Explanation: The median for an even set of numbers is (Xn+Xn+1)/2 where n = number of values in dataset divided by 2 and Xn is the nth ranked value when sorted from lowest to highest. Your ordered set is S=(0,1, 2, 3, ,...9) at least I think it is, with 10 values , X1 = 0, X2 =1, ..., so median = (4+5)/2 = 4.5. There are five numbers lower than 4.5 (0,1,2,3,4) and five numbers higher (5,6,7,8,9).

There is only one other number higher than five on the standard six sided number cube. That being said, their is only a one in two, or 50% chance that you will roll equal or higher than five. But only if the five and six are what's relative. It you count the numbers one through four, then you only have a two in six, or one in three (33.3%) chance of rolling five or six.


Will insurance rates go up if no claims were reported?

Insurance rates are not determined by an individual's claims ratios, as the few who have claims could never afford their premiums if that were the case. They are figured over thousands of clients. This is how insurance of every kind works. By use of the law of large numbers, the risk of loss can be figured and these rates applied. Risk is calculated so that those who exhibit the most risk will pay higher premiums while those who have lower risk will pay less. Auto insurance companies usually lose money on claims but hope to make money by investing the sums between collection and payment of claims.
