Question

use the measures of center flow chart interactive to answer the following question. find the median of the following values. 6 6 12 16 960 1000 choose the correct answer below. a. 14 b. 333.3 c. 503 d. 6

Explanation:

Step1: Order the data

First, we order the given values: \(6, 6, 12, 16, 960, 1000\).

Step2: Find the middle terms

Since there are \(n = 6\) (an even number of values), the median is the average of the \(\frac{n}{2}\)-th and \((\frac{n}{2}+ 1)\)-th terms.
\(\frac{n}{2}=\frac{6}{2}=3\)-rd term and \((\frac{n}{2}+ 1)=4\)-th term.
The 3rd term is \(12\) and the 4th term is \(16\).

Step3: Calculate the median

The median is the average of these two terms: \(\frac{12 + 16}{2}=\frac{28}{2}=14\).

Answer:

A. 14
