Imagine Abigail, Benjamin, and Ethan are comparing their scores in a game. They scored {12, 15, 13, 19, 12, 16, 14} respectively in seven rounds. Can you help them find the median score?

• 14

• 15

• 13

• 12

Answer explanation

To find the median, first arrange the data set in ascending order: {12, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 19}. Since there are 7 values, the median is the middle value, which is 14.
