Question #bff89

Answer 1

median: `color(red)(10)`

Explanation:

Arranging the data in ascending order:
`color(white)("XXX")color(blue)(3, 5, 6, 8,)color(red)(10),color(green)(11,13,15,16)`
`color(red)(10)` is the middle or "median" value

Answer 2

The median of the data is `10`

Explanation:

The median of a list of numbers is the middle value of the list. First we need to re-write the list in numerical order:

`3, 5, 6, 8, 10, 11, 13, 15, 16`

There are `9` numbers in the list, so the middle number is the `5^("th")` number:

`\color{red}(3, 5, 6, 8,) 10, \color{blue}(11, 13, 15, 16)`

so the median of the data is `10`
