Answer 1

The median value of the given data is 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of terms; n= 6

Set of values= 8,5,7,10,15,21

To find= The median of the given set

Solution

We will first arrange the data in ascending order=5,7,810,15,21

Since the set of values is even, the median of the given data will be given by the formula= (n÷2)th term

Here, putting n as 6 we get:

6÷2= $3^{rd}$ term

The third term is 8.

Result:

Thus, the median value of the given data is 8.
