Question

whats the median
-7,-6,2,-9,-2,-2

Answer 1

To find the median, you first need to arrange the numbers in ascending order and then determine the middle value.

The numbers in ascending order are:
-9, -7, -6, -2, -2, 2

Since there is an even number of values (6), the median will be the average of the two middle numbers. The two middle numbers are the 3rd and 4th values:

-6 and -2

Now, calculate the average:

\[
\text{Median} = \frac{-6 + (-2)}{2} = \frac{-8}{2} = -4
\]

Thus, the median of the numbers is **-4**.
