Okay what is the median?

OpenStudy (acespeedfighter):

To find the Median, place the numbers you are given in value order and find the middle number. Example: find the Median of {13, 23, 11, 16, 15, 10, 26}. Put them in order: {10, 11, 13, 15, 16, 23, 26} The middle number is 15, so the median is 15. (If there are two middle numbers, you average them.)

OpenStudy (mww):

Use the lines on the box to help you. The left line is the 1st quartile, the middle line is the 2nd/median and the right line is the 3rd quartile. So anything right of that right line is 25% of the data. Anything left of the left line is also 25% of data.

OpenStudy (slenderman):

so basically find your middle number and look how many ar e above it

OpenStudy (acespeedfighter):

is it 4?

OpenStudy (kgrendel0324):

No thats the middle years, what is half of 12

OpenStudy (acespeedfighter):

6

OpenStudy (kgrendel0324):

okay you at 4 years you have 6 schools.

OpenStudy (acespeedfighter):

Oh ok Thx Dude :D

OpenStudy (kgrendel0324):

thats not the answer

OpenStudy (acespeedfighter):

WAit what?

OpenStudy (kgrendel0324):

no, thats just how much you have one the upper part of the graph

OpenStudy (acespeedfighter):

So its 4?

OpenStudy (kgrendel0324):

now if you were to take six, and divide it by 2, what would you get?

OpenStudy (acespeedfighter):

3

OpenStudy (acespeedfighter):

So its 4

OpenStudy (acespeedfighter):

I said 4 at first

OpenStudy (acespeedfighter):

so is it 4?

OpenStudy (mww):

the easiest way is to see that a score of 6 is lining up with the third/upper quartile. Therefore anything 6 or above must represent the upper 25% of data. So 25% of 12 schools is 3 schools.
