To find the median of a data set, we need to arrange the numbers in ascending order first:
2, 13, 14, 14, 15, 17, 18, 19
Since there are an even number of data points (8 in total), the median is the average of the two middle numbers. In this case, the two middle numbers are 14 and 15.
Thus, the median is (14 + 15) / 2 = 29 / 2 = 14.5
Therefore, the correct answer is 14.5.
Use the following data set to answer this question:
14, 17, 13, 15, 14, 19, 2, 18
