median is the middle number. so put the numbers in descending or ascending order and find the middle number. It would be 1,700
I figured that but I thought I had to do some adding then divide it by two. Idk I think I'm a bit confused. Thank you
When you have an odd number in the set, you take the middle number, as Kelsey said. However, when you have an even number, there are two numbers in the middle. That's when you find the average.
