Answer:

10.

Explanation:

median means the "middle" number in a set of numbers.

(I always the meaning of median by remembering "middle" because they rhyme).

NOTE: to find the median of a set of numbers you have to arrange that set of numbers in either ascending order (smallest to biggest value) or descending order (biggest to smallest value) .

sooo....

we were given :

11, 17, 7, 4, 15, 19

let's arrange in ascending order

4, 7, 11, 15, 17 , 19

now you can cancel them out ( cancel left number, right number)

i mean....

cancel out 4, cancel out 19

cancel out 7, cancel out 17

and we are left with 2 numbers which are11 and 15.

NOTE; (when you have two numbers or values remaining instead of one number, add those two numbers and divide by 2).

soooo...

11 + 15 = 20

20/2 = 10

median of the set of numbers is equal to 10.

Hope this helps.

Good luck ✅.
