what is the median?
______ clients

Explanation:

Step1: Order the data

First, we need to order the number of clients from least to greatest. The data is: 8, 11, 11, 13, 15, 32.

Step2: Find the median position

Since there are 6 data points (an even number), the median will be the average of the two middle numbers. The positions of the middle numbers are the 3rd and 4th values when ordered.

Step3: Calculate the median

The 3rd value is 11 and the 4th value is 13. The median is the average of these two: $\frac{11 + 13}{2}=\frac{24}{2} = 12$.

Answer:

12
