Solution

To find the median of the data set, follow these steps:

  1. First, arrange the data set in ascending order: {5, 8, 12, 17, 19, 24}
  2. Since the number of data points is even (6), the median is the average of the middle two numbers.
  3. The middle two numbers are 12 and 17.
  4. To find the average of 12 and 17, add them together and divide by 2: (12 + 17) / 2 = 14.5

So, the median of the data set is 14.5.
