Question

what is the median 5,6,7,9

Answer 1

To find the median of the numbers 5, 6, 7, and 9, you first need to arrange them in ascending order. The numbers are already in order: 5, 6, 7, 9.

Since there is an even number of values (4 numbers), the median is the average of the two middle numbers. The two middle numbers in this case are 6 and 7.

To calculate the median:
\[
\text{Median} = \frac{6 + 7}{2} = \frac{13}{2} = 6.5
\]

So, the median of the numbers 5, 6, 7, and 9 is **6.5**.
