Question

Use the following data set to answer this question:

14, 17, 13, 15, 14, 19, 2, 18

What is the median?
*
15.5
15
14
14.5

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To find the median of a data set, we need to arrange the numbers in ascending order first:

2, 13, 14, 14, 15, 17, 18, 19

Since there are an even number of data points (8 in total), the median is the average of the two middle numbers. In this case, the two middle numbers are 14 and 15.

Thus, the median is (14 + 15) / 2 = 29 / 2 = 14.5

Therefore, the correct answer is 14.5.

To find the median, we first need to arrange the data set in ascending order:

2, 13, 14, 14, 15, 17, 18, 19

Since the data set has an even number of values, the median is the average of the two middle values. In this case, the two middle values are 14 and 15. So, we add them together and divide by 2:

(14 + 15) / 2 = 29 / 2 = 14.5

Therefore, the median of the data set is 14.5.
