1,1,1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,3,4,5,what is the median

1 answer

To find the median, we first need to organize the numbers in ascending order (which they already are in this case):

1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 4, 5

There are 13 numbers in total. The median is the middle number of a sorted list. Since there are 13 numbers (an odd quantity), the median will be the number in the 7th position.

Counting to the 7th number in the list:

1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 4, 5

The median is 2.
