Find the median of the data set: 56, 60, 60, 40, 60, 75, 40, 25, 53, 34, 62, 76(1 point)

Question

___

Answer 1

The median is the middle value when the data set is ordered from least to greatest.

First, order the data set from least to greatest:
25, 34, 40, 40, 53, 56, 60, 60, 60, 62, 75, 76

Since there are 12 numbers in the data set, the median will be the average of the 6th and 7th numbers when ordered:
Median = (56 + 60) / 2
Median = 116 / 2
Median = 58

Therefore, the median of the data set is 58.
