The middle number is 4, with twelve numbers on either side.

Also, 0 and 9 appear with the same frequency as 4.

Don't worry. I gotchu so you don't have to do AP Stats!

Given the above data, we can find the mean: 4.12
And the median: 4
We can also find the quartiles: Q_1= 2, Q_3= 6
And the max/min: Min= 0, Max= 9
That means the IQR is: 4 (Curious...)
There are no outliers.

Not sure what you can do with this data, but maybe it will be of some use to you!
