What is the median of the following data?
1, 0, 2, 4, 1, 2, 1, 1, 2, 5, 5, 0, 1, 2, 3
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → 2
The median is the middle value once the data are arranged in order. With 15 values, it is the \(\frac{15+1}{2}=\) 8th value.
In order: 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5
Values 1-2 are 0, values 3-7 are 1, values 8-11 are 2
So the 8th value, the median, is 2
