Sara says that median does not have to be one of the numbers in a set.
Is her statement correct? Please Explain.

Yes. If the median is not in a set of numbers, it must be between

the two numbers, in the middle. The median can't be less than the least value in a set.

Also, the median cannot be greater than the greatest value in a set.

It doesn't have to be in the data set. If there is two numbers left over, you would have to see what is in between if they are different numbers. If its the same number, just put that number.

step-by-step explanation:

let pq = qr = rs = x, and xz = y and zu = z.

if the horizontal lines are parallel, then corresponding segments are in proportion:

substitute:

therefore 3 = y = z.

xu = y + z → xu = 3 + 3 = 6
