Question

What is the median of 12, 11, 14, 10, 8, 13, 11, 9

Answer 1

Answer:

median = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

write the given numbers in ascending order,

8,9,10,11,11,12,13,14

median is the centermost number in the given data when it is arranged in the ascending order.

if the number of elements in the data is even, we will have two numbers in the center. for such cases, median will be the average of the two centermost numbers.

here, the number of elements is even(8)

therefore, median = sum of the two centermost numbers/2  

median = 11 + 11  /  2

median = 22/2

median = 11
