Find the Median 12.5 , 9.8 , 13.5 , 11.2 , 12.3 , 14.2 , 11.7 , 9.8 , 12.6 , 10.4

$12.5$ , $9.8$ , $13.5$ , $11.2$ , $12.3$ , $14.2$ , $11.7$ , $9.8$ , $12.6$ , $10.4$

Step 1

Arrange the terms in ascending order.

$9.8, 9.8, 10.4, 11.2, 11.7, 12.3, 12.5, 12.6, 13.5, 14.2$

Step 2

The median is the middle term in the arranged data set. In the case of an even number of terms, the median is the average of the two middle terms.

$\frac{11.7 + 12.3}{2}$

Step 3

Remove parentheses.

$\frac{11.7 + 12.3}{2}$

Step 4

Add $11.7$ and $12.3$ .

$\frac{24}{2}$

Step 5

Divide $24$ by $2$ .

$12$

Step 6

Convert the median $12$ to decimal.

$12$
