1. Arrange the data in order from smallest to largest:
3, 4, 9, 12, 13, 16, 16, 16, 17, 24
2. Determine the middle value(s) of the data set:
Since there are 10 values, the middle would be between the 5th and 6th values.
The 5th value is 13, and the 6th value is 16. So the median is the average of these two numbers:
(13 + 16) / 2 = 14.5
Therefore, the median of the data is 14.5.
