Explanation:
From the given set of numbers
127, 135, 142, 127, 109, 164, 155, 184, 155, 169
we sort them from lowest to highest
109, 127, 127, 135, 142, 155, 155, 164, 169, 184
The median is suppose to be the middle number and that would be easy by observation if the set contains an odd number of items. For this problem there are only 10 numbers. Therefore we will use the 5th and the 6th items then find their average to obtain the median.
God bless....I hope the explanation is useful.
