Question

Find the median of the following data set.


1 1/4 , 5/8 , 3/5 , 1/2 , 1 1/2 , 1 3/4

Answer 1

In statistics and probability theory, median is described as the numerical value separating the higher half of a sample, a population, or a probability distribution, from the lower half. The median of a finite list of numbers can be found by arranging all the observations from lowest value to highest value and picking the middle one. If there is an even number of observations, then there is no single middle value; the median is then usually defined to be the mean of the two middle values.( wikipedia)

Answer 2

Answer 3

you need to rearrange the values from lowest value to highest, then the one in the middle of the list is the median.
