Solution
12 observations in a data are written in ascending order. If the last (12th) observation is doubled, the median will increase by 0.
Explanation:
The median of 12 observations is the mean of the 6th and 7th terms. Doubling the 12th (last) observation only changes the largest value in the dataset and does not affect the middle positions, so the median remains completely unchanged.
