Question

The median of a set of 9 consecutive integers is 42. What is the greatest of these 9 integers?

Answer 1

Median is the physical middle.

so 42 is the 5th integer of the 9. .... there are 4 integers above it, 4 below it.

Answer 2

@campbell_st Wait, what do you mean? I can't just place any random number

Answer 3

to find the median the data is placed in ascending order.

consecutive means they follow each other

e.g. 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 are consecutive and in order.

so 15 is the physical middle.
