@iGreen

OpenStudy (igreen):

Median is the middle value.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

put them in order from least to greatest and then cross one of the right and one of the left until you get a middle number or two middle numbers. If you get 2 middle numbers you have to find the number in-between them. If you get one number then that is your answer

OpenStudy (chosenmatt):

so its 40?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no dur

OpenStudy (igreen):

So first we put it in least to greatest. 22, 23, 29, 31, 34, 36, 38, 40, 43, 45, 47, 48, 49, 53, 57, 58, 62, 63, 65

OpenStudy (igreen):

Find the middle number there.

@Hayhaywild002 Please do not give answers, it's against OpenStudy's Code-of-Conduct. We are here to guide the asker to the answer, so we need his/her participation. http://openstudy.com/code-of-conduct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (igreen):

You gave the answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

with the steps to get the problem thank you very much

OpenStudy (chosenmatt):

yeah igreen is right http://openstudy.com/code-of-conduct

OpenStudy (igreen):

Steps or no, you need the asker's participation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whatever first one of my friends @chosenmatt forgets who I am now i am being yelled at for helping someone by giving the steps so they can solve the next problem they run into

OpenStudy (igreen):

Nobody's yelling, and if you give the answer then the asker could just walk off with it and not look at your steps.

OpenStudy (chosenmatt):

Don’t post only answers - guide the asker to a solution. Have homework problems? We can help you - as long as you are looking to learn how to get your solution (and not just the answer). Please do not copy and paste your problems. If people are going to spend time to help you, you should at least spend the time to ask your question as clearly as possible.

OpenStudy (chosenmatt):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (chosenmatt):

OpenStudy (igreen):

Don't post only answers - ***guide the asker to a solution***.
