14. On a random day during the pandemic surge a local hospital recorded the ages of the patients in the ICU. If the data were ordered from least to greatest which data element(s) would be used to find the median? P.S. - I'm not asking you to find the actual value of the median! * 50 4 8 8 60 0 357 70 2 29 81 1 1 3 5 90 0 0 2 ages of COVID patients in ICU yrsold KEY: 912 = 92 11th data element 12th data element average of the 11th and 12th data element 22nd data element

Definition Definition Middle value of a data set. The median divides a data set into two halves, and it also called the 50th percentile. The median is much less affected by outliers and skewed data than the mean. If the number of elements in a dataset is odd, then the middlemost element of the data arranged in ascending or descending order is the median. If the number of elements in the dataset is even, the average of the two central elements of the arranged data is the median of the set. For example, if a dataset has five items—12, 13, 21, 27, 31—the median is the third item in ascending order, or 21. If a dataset has six items—12, 13, 21, 27, 31, 33—the median is the average of the third (21) and fourth (27) items. It is calculated as follows: (21 + 27) / 2 = 24.
