what is the median 14,6,-11,-6,5,10

Sagot :

The median of a set of values is the values that divide the set into two subsets, one containing all the values less than the median, and another containing all the values greater than the median.

So, to find the median, let's first rewrite the given values in ascending order:

-11, -6, 5, 6, 10, 14

If the set had an odd number of values, the value in the middle, after rewriting them as we did, would be the median.

Nevertheless, the number of values in this set is even. When this happens, the median corresponds to the mean of the two central numbers.

In this case, the two central numbers are 5 and 6. Their mean is:

(5 + 6)/2 = 11/2 = 5.5

Thus, the median is 5.5.
