Question

If this is the given data 24, 12, 19, 26, 19, 20, 15, 17 what is the median​

Answer 1

19

Explanation:

so first you have to order the values from least to greatest.

12, 15, 17, 19, 19, 20, 24, 26

there are 8 terms (note that 2 of them are 19)

n = 8

median = (n + 1) ÷ 2

=(8 + 1)/2

=9/2 = 4.5

it's 19 because the median falls between those two (19) data points.

Answer 2

19

Explanation:

Rearranging the number in ascending order,

12,15,17,19,19,20,24,26

Median = The average of the 4th and 5th number

`= (19 + 19)/(2) \\ = 19`
