One way of obtaining the median of a given data is to_________

Sum the value and divide by the number of items

B.

Arrange the data in ascending order and subtract each item from the mean

C.

Arrange the data in descending order and add each item to the least

D.

Arrange the data in either ascending or descending order and find what item divides the set in two equal parts

Correct answer is D

To find the median, first order the numbers from smallest to largest. Then find the middle number. For example, the middle for this set of numbers is 5, because 5 is right in the middle: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9.
