Question

find the median of the following data set:
5,2,2,8,6,3,9

Answer 1

To find the median of the data set, first arrange the numbers in numerical order:

2, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9

Since there are 7 numbers in the set, the median is the middle number. In this case, the middle number is 5.

Therefore, the median of the data set is 5.
