Answer:

to calculate the median:

1) we arrange the series in ascending order

6 7 7 8 10 14 15

2) 7 values, odd series

the median separates the series into 2 series of the same value

Determine the rank of the median

Add 1 to the total count, then divide the result by 2.

The number obtained corresponds to the rank of the median within the statistical series.

(7+1)/2=4; the median is the 4th value, i.e. 8
