Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the median of the following data set: 3, 1, 4, 2, 5?
  • Step 1: Write down the data set: 3, 1, 4, 2, 5.
  • Step 2: Sort the data in ascending order: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
  • Step 3: Count how many numbers are in the sorted data set. There are 5 numbers.
  • Step 4: Find the middle number. Since there are 5 numbers (an odd amount), the median is the 3rd number in the sorted list.
  • Step 5: The 3rd number in the sorted list (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) is 3.
  • Step 6: Therefore, the median of the data set is 3.
