The points scored by a basketball team in a series17, 2, 7, 27, 25, 5, 14, 18, 10, 24, 10, 8, 10, 12, 11.

Step 1: Arrange the data in ascending order

Given scores:
17, 2, 7, 27, 25, 5, 14, 18, 10, 24, 10, 8, 10, 12, 11

Arranged in ascending order:
2, 5, 7, 8, 10, 10, 10, 11, 12, 14, 17, 18, 24, 25, 27

Step 2: Find the number of observations

Number of scores = 15 (odd number)

Step 3: Locate the median

For an odd number of observations, the median is the middle value:

Median position = $\frac{n+1}{2} = \frac{15+1}{2} = 8$

So, the 8th value in the arranged list is 11

Median = 11
