What is the median of the following group of numbers? 14 12 20 22 14 16

a. 12

b. 14

c. 15

d. 16

Answer: c. 15

The median of a group of numbers is found by arranging the numbers in ascending or descending order, and then finding the number in the middle of the set. First arrange the numbers in order: 12 14 14 16 20 22. Since there is an even number of numbers in the list, find the average of the two numbers that share the middle. In this case the numbers in the middle are 14 and 16, and the average between them is 15.
