Find the measure of the median for the given dataset. 10, 17, 11, 24, 12, 7, 15, 17, 20, 5, 11, 21, 16, 17
To find the median, first order the dataset from least to greatest:
5, 7, 10, 11, 11, 12, 15, 16, 17, 17, 17, 20, 21, 24
Since there are 14 numbers in this dataset, the median will be the average of the 7th and 8th numbers in the list.
Median = (12 + 15) / 2
Median = 13.5
Therefore, the median of the given dataset is 13.5.
