Question

The data set below shows the weights (in pounds) of a sample of 5 students.155, 164, 159, 148, 134Find the median of the data set.

Answer 1

`155`

1) Let's rewrite them orderly (from the least to the greatest data point):

`134,148,155,159,164`

2) Since we have an odd number of data points, we can locate the median this way: the data point that divides equally the data set

`134,148,\mathbf{155},159,164`

And that is the answer
