Question

Find the median for the data set. 9, 14, 11, 8, 3, 15*
Your answer

Answer 1

Arranging the data in ascending order:

3,8,9,11,14,15

N(total number of items)=6

Median=(N+1/2) th item

=(6+1/2)th item

=(7/2)th item

=3.5th item.

Again,

Median=3rd item+4th item/2

=9+11/2

= 20/2

=10

Median =10

Hope it helps...

Answer 2

10

Explanation:

Align the data from smallest to largest

3,8,9, 11, 14, 15*

The median is the middle number

3,8,9, 11, 14, 15*

It would be between the 9 and 11 since there is an even number of numbers

(9+11)/2 = 20/2 = 10

The median is 10
