1 answer

To find the median of the data set {4, 5, 6, 5, 4}, we first need to arrange the numbers in ascending order:

4, 4, 5, 5, 6

The median is the middle value in a data set when it is ordered. Since there are 5 values (an odd number), the median is the third value in this ordered list.

  1. Arrange the data: 4, 4, 5, 5, 6
  2. Identify the middle value: The third value is 5.

Thus, the median of the data is 5.
