Find the measure of the median for the given dataset. 10, 17, 11, 24, 12, 7, 15, 17, 20, 5, 11, 21, 16, 17

1 answer

To find the median, first order the dataset from least to greatest:

5, 7, 10, 11, 11, 12, 15, 16, 17, 17, 17, 20, 21, 24

Since there are 14 numbers in this dataset, the median will be the average of the 7th and 8th numbers in the list.

Median = (12 + 15) / 2
Median = 13.5

Therefore, the median of the given dataset is 13.5.
