Question

What is the median of the data set? 3,10,1, 6, 10,3,11,14

Answer 1

ANSWER

The median is 8

EXPLANATION

The given date set is 3,10,1, 6, 10,3,11,14

We rearrange the data set in ascending order of magnitude to get:

1,3,3,6,10,10,11,14

There are two numbers {6,10} in the middle of the data set after arranging in ascending order.

The median is the mean of thesecond two numbers.

The median is

$\frac{6 + 10}{2} = \frac{16}{2} = 8$

Therefore the median is 8

Answer 2

The median is 8. You have to arrange it and then since it’s an even number add the two middle numbers and divide by 2.
