question 12 of 15, step 1 of 1 find the median of the following set of data. round your answer to the…

Explanation:

Step1: Sort the data set

$0.7, 8.4, 96.5, 96.5, 97.9, 152$

Step2: Determine the number of data - points

There are $n = 6$ data - points. Since $n$ is even, the median is the average of the two middle values.

Step3: Find the two middle values

The two middle values are the $\frac{n}{2}$th and $(\frac{n}{2}+1)$th values. $\frac{n}{2}=\frac{6}{2}=3$ and $\frac{n}{2}+1 = 4$. The 3rd value is $96.5$ and the 4th value is $96.5$.

Step4: Calculate the median

Median=$\frac{96.5 + 96.5}{2}=\frac{193}{2}=96.5$

Answer:

$96.5$
