The median of this set is:
9
In statistics and probability theory, the median is the value separating the higher half from the lower half of a data sample, a population, or a probability distribution. For a data set, it may be thought of as "the middle" value. The basic feature of the median in describing data compared to the mean is that it is not skewed by a small proportion of extremely large or small values, and therefore provides a better representation of a "typical" value. Median income, for example, may be a better way to suggest what a "typical" income is, because income distribution can be very skewed. The median is of central importance in robust statistics, as it is the most resistant statistic, having a breakdown point of 50%: so long as no more than half the data are contaminated, the median is not an arbitrarily large or small result.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Remark
You always have to put the data in order to answer a question like this one.
6 7 7 8 10 14 15
The median is the middle number. In this case it is 8. There are 3 numbers below 8 and 3 numbers above 8, so 8 is the median.
Answer: 8
