    Solution

    ATQ, Arrange the numbers in order from smallest to largest: 11, 15, 16, 17, 18, 22, 33, 51, 71, 75 Find the middle values: Since there are 10 numbers (an even number of data points), the median will be the average of the 5th and 6th numbers in the ordered list. The 5th and 6th numbers are 18 and 22. Calculate the average of these two numbers: Median = (18+22)/2 = 40/2 = 20 So, the median of the data set is 20 .
