b) The median of the given data is 17, it is the middle of 3 instances of 17 in the data set. If a lower number is added to the data set, the median will be the average of the first two 17s. If a higher number is added, the median will be the average of the last two 17s. In other words, there is no number that can be added that will change the median from 17.
Any value can be added without changing the median.
