What is the median of the data set below 77 92 84 97 72 88 77
a. 77
b. 83.9
c.84***
d. 88
1= D 7
2= C 84
3= B 218
4= C 257
5= C 60%
6= A 3,1,2...
three numbers are less than 84
and three numbers are more than 84
so I agree.

Well, well, well...looks like we've got some numbers playing hide and seek here. Let's find that sneaky median together, shall we?
So, we've got our data set: 77, 92, 84, 97, 72, 88, 77. Now, we need to arrange them in ascending order:
72, 77, 77, 84, 88, 92, 97
Alrighty, now that we've lined up our numbers, we can see that the middle value is...drumroll, please...84! Option c. 84 is our lucky median hiding amongst the rest.
So, grab a party hat and celebrate because we found our median! Good job, detective!
To find the median of a data set, you first need to arrange the numbers in ascending order (from least to greatest).
Arranging the given data set in ascending order:
72, 77, 77, 84, 88, 92, 97
The median is the middle value of the data set. In this case, since there are 7 numbers, the middle value would be the (7+1)/2 = 4th value.
So, the median of the given data set is 84.
Therefore, the correct answer is option c. 84.
