Question

What is the Median of this set of data?
5, 0, 1, 3, 9, 0

Answer 1

To find the median of the given set of data, we need to arrange the data in order from least to greatest:

0, 0, 1, 3, 5, 9

Since the data set has an even number of observations, we take the average of the middle two values to find the median. The middle two values in the ordered data set are 1 and 3. Therefore, the median of the given data set is:

(1 + 3) / 2 = 2

Answer 2

• B. 2

Explanation:

To find the median of a set of data, we first need to arrange the data numbers from smallest to largest. The median is the middle data number in the list.

Given:

5, 0, 1, 3, 9, 0

Arrange the numbers:-

0, 0, 1, 3, 5, 9

Median = 1, 3

Since there are even amount of numbers, the median will be the average of the two middle data numbers.

To find the median, we'll add the numbers 1 + 3 and then divide them by two. (since they are 2 set numbers):-

• 1 + 3 = 4
• 4 / 2
• = 2

Therefore, the median of this set of data is 2.
