Answer 1

A.) median; 1.5

Explanation:

Hello!

The median is the number that is in the middle when the numbers are listed from least to greatest

0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 14

We can take one from both sides till there are one or two numbers left

0, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2

1, 1, 2, 2

1, 2

If there are two numbers left we add them then divide by 2 to get the median

1 + 2 = 3

3 / 2 = 1.5

The answer is A.) median; 1.5

Hope this helps!
