O 11
O 10

Answer 1

10.5

Explanation:

Ordering the set of data by ascending order gives us the set {6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 15, 16, 17}. Since there are 10 terms and the median is the middle term, we know that the median will be the average of the 5th and 6th terms, which are 10 and 11. The average of 10 and 11 is (10 + 11) / 2 = 10.5.
