Enter the median of the following dataset 7,15,12,13,8,11
Leni [432]

The median is the value that is in the middle of a dataset.

The first step to find the median is to order the values from least to greatest:

7, 8, 11, 12, 13, 15.

Since the number of data is even, the median will be the average of the pair of values that is in the middle, in this case, 11 and 12:

\frac{11+12}{2}=11.5

The median of the data set is 11.5.
