To find the median of a set of numbers, you first need to arrange the numbers in order. For the data set \(12, 12, 12, 16\), the numbers are already in order.
Since there are four numbers (an even count), the median is the average of the two middle numbers.
The two middle numbers are the second and third numbers in this set:
1. Second number: 12
2. Third number: 12
Now, calculate the average of these two middle numbers:
\[
\text{Median} = \frac{12 + 12}{2} = \frac{24}{2} = 12
\]
Thus, the median of the set \(12, 12, 12, 16\) is \(12\).
