jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

add up the frequencies first, what do you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

15

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so the middle most value is in slot 15/2 = 7.5 = 8 (round up) which value is in slot 8?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

30?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

good, you add the first 4 values which are 20, then the next 4 are 30 the value in slot #8 is 30 so the median is 30

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you could go the long way and list all the numbers out, but this is a much faster way
