Question

What is the median of the data set? {50, 54, 62, 48, 49, 52}

Answer 1

the median of the data set is 51

Answer 2

Median is described as the number in the middle of the set (given that the set is ordered from least to greatest), so we'll first order our set.

[48 49 50 52 54 62]

We notice that there is no middle number, so we take the two numbers that share the middle space and find their mean.
50+52=102
102/2=51
The median is 51.
