The median of a set of numbers is the number that appears in the middle after arranging the set of numbers in ascending or descending order

Step 1:Arrange the given values in ascending order.

Step 2. Find the number of observations in the given set of data. It is denoted by n.

Step 3. If n is odd, the median equals the [(n+1)/2]th observation.

The set of numbers given in the question are


6,13,15,9,6,11,14

By rearranging the numbers in ascending order, we will have


6,6,9,11,13,14,15

The numbers are 7 in number that is


N=7

Since the value of N is an odd number, then the median will be calculated using the formula below


\begin{gathered} \text{Median}=((n+1))/(2)th \\ \text{Median}=(7+1)/(2)th\text{ number} \\ \text{Median}=(8)/(2)th\text{ number} \\ \operatorname{median}=4th\text{ number} \end{gathered}

The 4th number after arranging the set of numbers is


=11

Hence,

The median of the set of numbers in the question = 11
