Question

Find the median on the data:
[42,51,53,53,59,61,75,100]

My work: 53+59/2=82.5

According to the teacher that is not correct but that is the way the book showed how to do it when you had an even #.

Thanks for the help.

Answer 1

(53+59)/2 = 56
You want the average of those two center ones.
