Answer 1

Answer 2

11

Explanation:

If the set of numbers are not in least to greatest first set them up into their positions. But since this set is already in least to greatest we can go to the next step.

6, 7, 10, 12, 12, 13

Cross off all numbers until you get to the middle:

6, 7, 10, 12, 12, 13

Find the mean of the numbers in the middle:

10 + 12 = 22

22 / 2 = 11

The answer is 11

Hope this helped.
