Cevap

1515
To find the median of a dataset, the values must first be arranged in numerical order. Sorting the scores 1818, 99, 2424, 1414, and 1515 from least to greatest yields: 99, 1414, 1515, 1818, and 2424. Since there is an odd number of scores (55 scores), the median is the middle value, which is the third number in the sorted list. The third number is 1515.
