Question

what is the median of the set of numbers? 12, 23, 7, 29, 17, 12

Explanation:

Step1: Sort the numbers

$$7,12,12,17,23,29$$

Step2: Find the median

Since there are 6 numbers (even count), the median is the average of the 3rd and 4th numbers.
$$\frac{12 + 17}{2}=\frac{29}{2}=14.5$$

14.5
