The median of the sample is

The correct answer is
13.5

Median of Sample Numbers

This solution explains how to calculate the median for the given sample of numbers: 9, 18, 11, 14, 15, 17, 10, 69, 11, 13.

Median Steps

To find the median, follow these steps:

  1. Sort the sample numerically.
  2. Count the numbers in the sample.
  3. Calculate the median based on the count.

Sample Data Analysis

Sample Sorting

Arrange the sample in ascending order:

9, 10, 11, 11, 13, 14, 15, 17, 18, 69

Number Count

The sample contains 10 numbers. This is an even count.

Median Calculation

For an even count, the median is the average of the two middle values (the 5th and 6th).

  • Middle values: 13 and 14

Median = $ \frac{13 + 14}{2} $

Median = $ \frac{27}{2} $

Median = $ 13.5 $

Median Result

The median of the sample is 13.5.
