Question

How do I know what the median is in a data set of an uneven amount of numbers please?

Answer 1

To find the median of a data set with an uneven amount of numbers, follow these steps:

1. Arrange the numbers in the data set in ascending order.
2. Identify the middle number in the list. If there is an odd number of data points, the middle number is the median.
3. If there is an even number of data points, find the two middle numbers in the list.
4. Calculate the average of the two middle numbers to find the median.
