Question

Find the median of the data set: 3, 7, 3, 2, 7, 9.

A: 7
B: 5
C: 5.3
D: 3

Answer 1

To find the median, you order the numbers from least to greatest, then find the middle number.

3,7,3,2,7,9

2,3,3,7,7,9

There are two middle numbers, so we have to find the middle of the two.

3,4,5,6,7

5 is the median, so the answer is B.

Answer 2

B) 5

Explanation:

To solve, first list the numbers in numerical order:

2, 3, 3, 7, 7, 9

Now find the middle number(s) of the set:

2, 3, 3, 7, 7, 9

It's between 3 and 7, so find the middle of these two numbers:

3, 4, 5, 6, 7

The final answer is 5!
