What is the median of the data set shown below?
{2, 4, 4, 6, 6, 8, 10, 11, 11, 11}
so the question is really 7 or 7.3 ???
Seven is in the middle, correct? So that's between 6 and 8 so it would be 7
10 values, so it's the average of the two middle values
(6+8)/2 = 7
I'm 23 and couldn't do that math.
To find the median of a data set, you need to arrange the numbers in ascending order and then determine the middle value(s) of the set.
First, let's arrange the numbers in ascending order:
{2, 4, 4, 6, 6, 8, 10, 11, 11, 11}
Next, let's locate the middle value(s) of the set. Since we have 10 numbers, there is only one middle value, which is the 6th number.
So, the median of this data set is 6.
