Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the median of the following data set: 1, 3, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9?
Correct Answer: 6
  • Step 1: Write down the data set: 1, 3, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9.
  • Step 2: Make sure the data set is in order from smallest to largest. (It already is.)
  • Step 3: Count how many numbers are in the data set. There are 7 numbers.
  • Step 4: Since there are 7 numbers (an odd amount), the median is the middle number.
  • Step 5: Find the middle number. The middle number is the 4th number in the list.
  • Step 6: The 4th number in the ordered list is 6.
  • Step 7: Therefore, the median of the data set is 6.
