Answer 2

Answer:

8.5

Step-by-step explanation:

3, 9, 5, 7 , 2 , 9 , 8 , 8 , 10 , 12 , 17 , 13

After arranging in ascending order

2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 8, 9, 9, 10, 12, 13, 17

Total no. of terms, n = 12 (even)

Median = [ (n/2)th term + (n/2 + 1)th term ] /2

= [6th term + 7th term] / 2

= (8+9)/2 = 8.5

median = 8.5
