The median is the middle number of a data set.
First, put the numbers from least to greatest.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 7, 8, 12, 16
Second, find the middle number.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 7, 8, 12, 16
2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 7, 8, 12
3, 4, 5, 7, 7, 8
4, 5, 7, 7
5, 7
Since we have 2 middle numbers, we need to add them and divide them by 2.
5 + 7 = 12
12 / 2
6
Therefore, the median is 6.
Best of Luck!
