The median is the middle number of a set of numbers when they are arranged in numerical order.
For the set of numbers 50, 52, 54, 56, 58, 60:
- There are 6 numbers in total, so the middle number is the third number: 54
- Therefore, the median of this set is 54
For the set of numbers 64, 66, 68, 70, 72, 74, 76, 78, 80:
- There are 9 numbers in total, so the two middle numbers are the fifth and sixth numbers when arranged in numerical order: 72 and 74
- The average of these two numbers is (72 + 74) / 2 = 73
- Therefore, the median of this set is 73
In summary, the first set of numbers has a median of 54, while the second set of numbers has a median of 73.
What is the difference between the two median 50, 52, 54 56 ,58,60 and 64, 66,68,70, 72,74,76,78,80
