Question

please tell me hoe you find the median in a group of numbers :)

Answer 1

place the data set of numbers in order from lowest to highest.

so for instance you are given:

5, 8 , 9 ,15, 20, 11

so then you place them in order:

5, 8 , 9, 11, 15, 20

to find the median which number falls in the middle.

since here there are six numbers so you get the two sets of numbers that fall in the middle add them and divide them by two.

so here would be:

9 +11 = 20 divided by 2 = 15

so your median is 15

if your set of numbers are only 5 instead of 6 as my example. then what ever numbers falls in the middle is your middle number. but if you have two in the middle remember to add first then divide by them.
