Question

Given the following list of data, find the median: 22, 33, 17, 8, 17, 29, 18, 13, 26, 28.

a) 13
b) 18
c) 22
d) 26

Answer 1

The median of the given data is 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Sort the data in increasing order: 8, 13, 17, 17, 18, 22, 26, 28, 29, 33
2. Since there are 10 observations (an even number of data values), the median is the average of the middle two values: (18 +22) / 2 = 20
3. Therefore, the median of the given data is 20
