because the middle most number is 5,6

so

5+6=11

11/2= 5.5

Answer 2

Answer : The median of the given set of data of values is, 5.5

Step-by-step explanation :

Median : It is the middle term that is sorted by the list of numbers. It is determine by placing the numbers in increasing order.

For odd observations the formula will be:
`(n+1)/(2)`

For even observations the formula will be:
`\frac{\text{Average of two middle value}}{2}`

As we are given that the set of data:

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

Now we have to determine the median.

For even data:

`\frac{\text{Average of two middle value}}{2}`

Middle two values are, 5 and 6

`(5+6)/(2)=5.5`

Thus, the median of the given set of data of values is, 5.5
