The data that represent the number of flying saucers that are owned by each alien on planet nowhere is given below:
[tex]1,4,2,21,8,27[/tex](a)We sort the data from the least to greatest below.
[tex]1,2,4,8,21,27[/tex](b)The median is the middle number.
In this case, we have two numbers in the middle: 4 and 8
Therefore we find their average:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Median}=\frac{4+8}{2} \\ =\frac{12}{2} \\ =6 \end{gathered}[/tex]
