Answer 1

Find the median of 3,6,10,13, 14,17,19 and 22.

a. 13 b. 20 c. 17 d. 13.5

Solution

The middle number of an ordered data set is called the median of the data set.

[Original data set] 3 6 10 13 14 17 19 22.

This data set is already in ascending order.

The middle numbers from the above data set are 13 and 14.

The median age of this data is $\frac{13 + 14}{2} = 13.5$.

So the median of this data is 13.5.

Answer: d. 13.5.
