Question

whats the median
0.2,0.6,0.7,0.2,0.4,0.5,0.4,0.5,0.3,0.7,0.7,0.5,0.8,0.1,0.9

Answer 1

To find the median of the given set of numbers, first, you need to arrange the numbers in ascending order:

0.1, 0.2, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.4, 0.5, 0.5, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.7, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9

Next, count the total number of values. There are 15 numbers in this list.

The median is the middle value in a sorted list. Since 15 is an odd number, the median will be the value at position \((15 + 1)/2 = 8\).

Counting to the 8th position in the sorted list:

1. 0.1
2. 0.2
3. 0.2
4. 0.3
5. 0.4
6. 0.4
7. 0.5
8. **0.5** (the median)
9. 0.5
10. 0.6
11. 0.7
12. 0.7
13. 0.7
14. 0.8
15. 0.9

Thus, the median of the given set of numbers is **0.5**.
