Question

Find the median of the data set 6,7,3,4,9,10,3

Answer 1

6

Step-by-step explanation

The median is the middle number in a sorted, ascending or descending, list of numbers and can be more descriptive of that data set than the average. If there is an odd amount of numbers, the median value is the number that is in the middle, with the same amount of numbers below and above

Step 1

Arrange your numbers in numerical order.

`6,7,3,4,9,10,3\rightarrow3,3,4,6,7,9,10`

Step 2

Count how many numbers you have.

`3,3,4,6,7,9,10\rightarrow seven\text{ numbers}`

Step 3

If you have an odd number, divide by 2 and round up to get the position of the median number.

so,

`(7)/(2)=3.5\rightarrow rounded\text{ =4}`

and that would be the position of the median

`3,3,4,(6),7,9,10`

so, the median is 6
