Find the median of the following data set:
5, 2, 2, 8, 6, 3, 9
*
First, arrange the numbers in ascending order:
2, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9
Since there are 7 numbers in the dataset, the median is the middle number. In this case, the middle number is the 4th number, which is 5.
Therefore, the median of the data set is 5.
