What is the median of the five numbers 2, 5, 8, 11 and 14?

Բացատրություն

The five numbers are already in order, and the central one of the five positions holds 8, so the median is 8. Answering 6 comes from halving the gap between the smallest and largest numbers, which measures how widely the data are scattered instead of locating the number at the centre of the list.
