Question

1. to find the median of a set of a data, you:

a. add all the numbers in the data set and then divide the total by the number of data points.
b. put the numbers in order from smallest to largest and then find the number in the middle.
c. find the difference between the greatest and least values in the data set.
d. find the number that repeats the most.

Explanation:

The median is the middle value of an ordered data set. First, arrange the data from smallest to largest, then identify the middle number (or average of two middle numbers for even-sized sets). Option A describes calculating the mean, Option C describes the range, and Option D describes the mode.

Answer:

B. Put the numbers in order from smallest to largest and then find the number in the middle.
