Find the median of the set of numbers 12, 15, 13, 14, 12, 12.
Answer Details
To find the median, we need to first arrange the set of numbers in order from least to greatest:
12, 12, 12, 13, 14, 15
The median is the middle number in the set. Since there are six numbers in this set, the middle number will be the average of the two middle numbers. In this case, the two middle numbers are 12 and 13, so their average is:
(12 + 13) / 2 = 12.5
Therefore, the median of this set of numbers is 12.5. Option (B) is the correct answer.
