Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If the data set {3, 7, 8, 12, 14} is given, what is the median?
  • Step 1: Arrange the data set in order from smallest to largest. The data set is already in order: {3, 7, 8, 12, 14}.
  • Step 2: Count the number of values in the data set. There are 5 values.
  • Step 3: Since there is an odd number of values (5), the median is the middle value.
  • Step 4: Find the middle position. The middle position is the 3rd value in the ordered list.
  • Step 5: The 3rd value in the ordered list is 8, so the median is 8.
  • Median – The median is the middle value of a data set when it is ordered from least to greatest.
