Question

help me
Find the median for the given set of data.

0.6, 1.1, 0.87, 2, 0.87, 1.23

Answer 1

add them up then divide by number of terms

Answer 2

thats the mean

Answer 3

0.6+1.1+0.87+2+0.87+1.23= 6.67/6=1.111666666666 repeating.
so 1.1 basically

Answer 4

hmmm

Answer 5

Answer 6

median is the middle number...so how many total numbers do you have ?

Answer 7

Answer 8

6

Answer 9

oops sorry guys I did the mean instead of the median. well for the median order them from least to greatest

Answer 10

First put the numbers in order from smallest to largest..
if there is an even number of numbers, then the median can be found by taking the 2 middle numbers and dividing by 2.
Can you do that ?

Answer 11

no

Answer 12

really ? why

Answer 13

my math skills are not that good
that is why i use wolfram

Answer 14

0.6,0.87,0.87,1.1,1.23,2
what I do is cross out one from each side till u get to the middle which is the same thing as finding the middle number
in this case there r 2 middle numbers. 0.87 and 1.1
add them together then divide by 2
0.87+1.1= 1.97/2= 0.985
I think that's the answer

Answer 15

I agree.....just like I said...add the 2 middle numbers and divide by 2

Answer 16

now if there was an odd number of numbers, there will be only 1 middle number, and that number would be the median
