When your finding the median, do you put all of the numbers on order from least to greatest?

OpenStudy (black_ninja123):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thank you!

OpenStudy (black_ninja123):

Np :)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

its not a requirement, its just a useful step the median is the same regardless of the order.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

3,2,5 has a median of 3 .... regardless of the order we put them in.

OpenStudy (black_ninja123):

5,10,9,8,7,4,1 the median would be 8 but if you put it in order: 1,4,5,7,8,9,10 the median would be 7

OpenStudy (amistre64):

no, that is not how we define median

OpenStudy (amistre64):
