Example Question #498 : Data Analysis

Use the following data set to answer the question:

Find the median.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the median of a data set, we will first arrange the numbers within the set in ascending order.  Then, we will locate the number in the middle of the set.

So, given the set

we will arrange the numbers in ascending order.  To do that, we will arrange them from smallest to largest.  So, we get

Now, we will locate the number in the middle of the set.

We can see that it is 6.

 

Therefore, the median of the data set is 6.
