The median is the middle point in a data points.
Half of the data points are smaller than the median and half of the data points are larger.
To find the median arrange the data points from smallest to largest.
If the number of data points is odd, the median is the middle data point in the list.
If the number of data points is even, the median is the average of the two middle data points in the list.
In this case the numbers in order from smallest to largest are:
3 , 6 , 7 , 9 , 9 , 10
There are six data points.
It's an even number, so the median is:
( 7 + 9 ) / 2 = 16 / 2 = 8
What is the median median of the data set: 9, 6, 7, 3, 10, 9
