Question

The median for the data: 10,12,15,16,8, 7 is

Answer 1

11

Explanation:

10, 12, 15, 16, 8, 7

Write the numbers in increasing order:

7, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16

The median is the middle number if there is an odd number of numbers.

Here we have an even number of numbers (6), so the median is the arithmetic mean (average) of the two middle numbers.

median = (10 + 12)/2 = 22/2 = 11

Answer 2

11

Explanation:

7,8,10,12,15,16

12+10=22÷2=11
