Find the median of the following data:<br>
10,16, 15, 14, 8, 21, 10, 5, 19, 18,4,5, 16, 12, 10,9

Answer:
11
Explanation:
First step: Order from least to greatest.
4,5,5,8,9,10,10,10,12,14,15,16,16,18,19,21
Second: If the we had an odd amount of data, the median would just be the middle number. Since we have even amount of data, the median will be average of the 2 middles.
You have 16 data members here. The middle is going to be at the 16/2 th term and the [(16/2)+1 th] term. So in other words we need to average the 8th and 9th term here to find the median. So let's count to the 8th and then then the 9th to figure out what numbers these actually are.
8th term=10 and 9th term= 12 so the average of these are (10+12)/2=22/2=11.
The median is 11.

The U.S. press, like the U.S. government, is a corrupt and troubled institution. Corrupt not so much in the sense that it accepts bribes but in a systemic sense. It fails to do what it claims to do, what it should do, and what society expects it to do.
The news media and the government are entwined in a vicious circle of mutual manipulation, mythmaking, and self-interest. Journalists need crises to dramatize news, and government officials need to appear to be responding to crises. Too often, the crises are not really crises but joint fabrications. The two institutions have become so ensnared in a symbiotic web of lies that the news media are unable to tell the public what is true and the government is unable to govern effectively. That is the thesis advanced by Paul H. Weaver, a former political scientist (at Harvard University), journalist (at Fortune magazine), and corporate communications executive (at Ford Motor Company), in his provocative analysis entitled News and the Culture of Lying: How Journalism Really Works.
