To find the median of the number of laps run by the clients, we first need to list the numbers in ascending order:
0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
Since there are 7 values (an odd number), the median is the middle value. To find the middle value:
- Count the total numbers: 7
- The median position is calculated as \((n + 1) / 2\), where \(n\) is the total number of values. \[ (7 + 1) / 2 = 8 / 2 = 4 \]
- The 4th number in the ordered list is the median.
Looking at the ordered list:
- 1st number: 0
- 2nd number: 1
- 3rd number: 2
- 4th number: 3 (this is the median)
- 5th number: 4
- 6th number: 5
- 7th number: 6
Thus, the median of the numbers is 3.
