OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

The median is when you line the numbers in order from least to greatest, then cross off doubles until you reach a number that you can't pair up (e.g. cross off the first and last numbers, second and second-to-last numbers, etc.).

Mrs. McGee: 5, 8, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 30 Mr. Matthews: 8, 11, 15, 18, 20, 22, 23, 25, 27, 33 Can you do it from here?

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

Oh... a special case. http://prntscr.com/a769q4 In this case you take the two "median" numbers and average them. I trust you know how to do that? :-)
