Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the median of the data set {7, 3, 5, 9, 1}?
  • Step 1: Write down the data set: {7, 3, 5, 9, 1}.
  • Step 2: Arrange the numbers in order from smallest to largest: {1, 3, 5, 7, 9}.
  • Step 3: Count how many numbers are in the data set. There are 5 numbers.
  • Step 4: Find the middle number. Since there are 5 numbers, the middle one is the 3rd number.
