Determine the median of the dataset 2, 4, 10, 8, 6 _______________?

Select your answer for: Determine the median of the dataset 2, 4, 10, 8, 6 _______________?
Show answer

Answer: A. 6

Explanation

The median is the middle value once the data is in order. Sorting 2, 4, 10, 8, 6 gives 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and the third of five values is 6. Failing to sort first is what produces the wrong answer here, since the middle of the unsorted list is 10.
