Question

Answer 1

Answer:

Median = 6

Explanation:

1. order the data in ascending order

3,5,7,10

2. Find the central piece of data.  If the count of data is even, divide into two groups

3 5  |  7 10

3. the median is the mean of the two numbers closest to the division, or

(5+7)/2 = 6

Median = 6

If the count of data is odd, take the middle number.
