What is the median of the data set? {16, 15, 17, 19, 12, 11, 14, 14, 13, 11, 18, 15}

OpenStudy (triciaal):

arrange the data in order from lowest to highest the median is the middle term if you have an even number of items then the median is the average of the 2 middle terms

you add up those numbers and then divide by 2

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

that will give the midpoint between the two numbers
