Question

The following data points represent the number of songs each member of the band Python Sunboat has

written

5, 2, 9, 21, 12,3

Find the median number of songs.

Answer 1

Answer: 7

Explanation:

To find the median, we need to first put the data points in order from least to greatest:

2, 3, 5, 9, 12, 21

There are six data points, so the median is the middle value. In this case, the middle two values are 5 and 9. To find the median, we take the average of these two numbers:

(5 + 9) / 2 = 7

Therefore, the median number of songs written by the members of Python Sunboat is 7.
