Hello friends, I need help with really simple math, I should of known it a long time ago, but please help. :)

OpenStudy (markchernioglo):

What is a median and a mean?

OpenStudy (markchernioglo):

Lol this probably looks so simple. I am in 10th grade in Algebra 2 but I am still confused with this. I simply forgot or I never learned. :)

OpenStudy (markchernioglo):

Ok, but could you explain it to me? I need to learn, but thanks.

pooja195 (pooja195):

Have fun reading it's already explained ;) Unless @SolomonZelman wants to elaborate

OpenStudy (markchernioglo):

lol

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I don't realy think I can add something to that, unless I would spend a lot of time typing and explain how that relates to stats or something of this sort:)

OpenStudy (markchernioglo):

Oh so you divide by the factor?

pooja195 (pooja195):

For which one?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Divide by the factor?

pooja195 (pooja195):

You divide by how many numbers there are-mean

OpenStudy (markchernioglo):

Ohhhhh ok ok I get that one, now I will look at the other one.

OpenStudy (markchernioglo):

Still confused with the median

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

median is the middle number...

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\color{#000000 }{ \displaystyle {\rm Mean}=\frac{\rm the~sum~of~all~numbers}{\rm the~number~of~these~numbers} }\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

or the "amount" of these numbers

OpenStudy (markchernioglo):

Oh wow lol that was like kindergarten math. I feel so dumb now! Thank you everyone!

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

No problem, we always forget some relevantly simple stuff.

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

but know this....to find the median of a set of numbers, you first have to put the numbers in order

OpenStudy (markchernioglo):

Yea I understand

OpenStudy (markchernioglo):

:)

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

good to hear :)

OpenStudy (markchernioglo):

If I could I would give all of you medals! I can't so I will just fan all of you. :)
