Question

What is the median of the data set: {24, 31, 12, 38, 12, 15}A)12B)19.5C)24D)23.5

Answer 1

Answer: B: 19.5

Step-by-step explanation:

This data set is an even data set meaning that you're going to have to add and divide, so you put your data set in ascending order (highest # to lowest #) so 12,12,15,24,31,38 its an even data set so you're going to put them in groups (remember your finding the median, the middle numbers) so you have 12,12 (one group) and 31,38 (another group) (basically make it even!!) so now you're left with the middle numbers, you have to add them and then divide them by 2 so (15+24) ÷2 and you get your answer !!
