Given the data set:
5, 10, 12, 4,6,11,13,5
Find the median.
Solution:
The median simply refers to the middle value of the data set, hence to determine the median, we must first arrange the data from least to greatest.
= 4, 5, 5, 6, 10, 12, 11, 13
Since we have an even data set, we simply need to add the two middle data which is 6 and 10, then divide the sum by 2.
= 6 + 10
= 16
= 16/2
= 8
Final answer:
Median = 8
