Question

What is the median of this set of data values 11,13,14,15,18,20,23,26

Answer 1

The answer is 16.5 because you add 15 and 18 then divide by 2

Answer 2

Answer: The required median of the given data set is 16.5.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the median of the following set of values :

11, 13, 14, 15, 18, 20, 23, 26.

We know that

(i) If the data contain an odd number of values, then the mid-value is the required median.

(ii) If the data contain an even number number of values, then the average of the two mid-values will be the required median.

Since the given data contains 8 values, which is an even number, so we will consider two mid-values and those are 15 and 18.

The average of 15 and 18 is given by

`A=(15+18)/(2)=(33)/(2)=16.5.`

Thus, the required median of the given data set is 16.5.
