Given the data below
[tex]1,2,4,4,9,2[/tex]Statement of Problem: Sort the data from the least to the greatest, then find the median.
In other to achieve this, the least number from the data provided is 1 and the greatest is 9.
The sorting of the data from the least to the greatest is as shown below:
[tex]1,2,2,4,4,9[/tex]There are 6 numbers in the data provided. The median is the average of the third and fourth numbers.
The third and the fourth numbers are 2 and 4 as shown above. The median would then be
[tex]\frac{2+4}{2}=\frac{6}{2}=3[/tex]Hence, sorting the given data from the least to the greatest is
1, 2, 2, 4, 4, 9
and the median number is 3
