A data set is composed of the following integers: 4, 4, 6, 10, 14, 17, 20. What is the median of the data set?

  1. 9

  2. 11

  3. 12

  4. 13

The correct answer is: 11

The median is the middle number in a data set, which in this case is 10. Option A (9) and Option D (13) are both less than the median, while Option C (12) is greater than the median. Therefore, Option B (11) is the closest to the actual median of the data set.
