OpenStudy (jeremiahclare):

OpenStudy (jeremiahclare):

Mehek (mehek14):

Nope and sure.

OpenStudy (jeremiahclare):

Mehek (mehek14):

To find the median, you list the numbers from least to greatest.

OpenStudy (jeremiahclare):

ok

OpenStudy (jeremiahclare):

im gonna get paper

OpenStudy (jeremiahclare):

78 80 82 84 86 87 87 89 94 95

Mehek (mehek14):

Right, now find the middle number.

OpenStudy (jeremiahclare):

86

OpenStudy (hawk):

good

Mehek (mehek14):

Not 86.

Mehek (mehek14):

There are a total of 10 numbers, meaning there will be 2 numbers in the middle.

OpenStudy (jeremiahclare):

87

OpenStudy (hawk):

i think 87 or 84

Mehek (mehek14):

Right, so we have 86 and 87. To find the median, add them and divide by 2. 86 + 87 = ?

OpenStudy (hawk):

173

OpenStudy (jeremiahclare):

173

Mehek (mehek14):

Divided by 2.

OpenStudy (jeremiahclare):

86.5

Mehek (mehek14):

Right, so 86.5 is the median.

OpenStudy (jeremiahclare):

OpenStudy (hawk):
