Q. What is the median?

\newline

-1, -8, -6, -6, -8, -6, -2, -7, -1

\newline

_____

Arrange Data Set: Data set: $-1$ , $-8$ , $-6$ , $-6$ , $-8$ , $-6$ , $-2$ , $-7$ , $-1$ $\newline$ First, we need to arrange the data set in ascending order to find the median.
Count Data Points: Arranging the data set in ascending order: $\newline$ $–8, –8, –7, –6, –6, –6, –2, –1, –1$ $\newline$ Now the data set is in ascending order.
Determine Median Position: Count the number of data points in the set. $\newline$ There are $9$ numbers in the data set.
Find Median: Determine the position of the median. $\newline$ Since there is an odd number of data points, the median will be the middle number. $\newline$ Position of the median = (Number of data points + $1$ ) / $2$ $\newline$ Position of the median = $(9 + 1) / 2$ $\newline$ Position of the median = $10 / 2$ $\newline$ Position of the median = $5$
Find Median: Determine the position of the median. $\newline$ Since there is an odd number of data points, the median will be the middle number. $\newline$ Position of the median = (Number of data points + $1$ ) / $2$ $\newline$ Position of the median = $(9 + 1) / 2$ $\newline$ Position of the median = $10 / 2$ $\newline$ Position of the median = $5$ Find the median. $\newline$ The median is the $5$ th number in the ordered set. $\newline$ The $5$ th number in the ordered set is $-6$ .
