what is the median of this set of data?\n1, 2, 5, 6, 9\n○ 1\n○ 5\n○ 8\n○ 9
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Check data order
The data set (1, 2, 5, 6, 9) is already in ascending order.
Step2: Find the middle value
For a set with (n = 5) (odd number of elements), the median is the (\frac{n + 1}{2})-th term. (\frac{5+1}{2}=3)-rd term. The 3rd term in (1, 2, 5, 6, 9) is (5).
Answer:
5 (corresponding to the option with "5")
