What is the median? {12,15,18,20,22,23,24,40,45}

getlikeliyiah:

Median - To find the medium list all the numbers in correct order, being sure to include an doubles. Then find the middle number. If there is an odd amount of numbers - the medium is the middle number. If there is an even amount the medium is found by adding the middle two numbers together and dividing by 2. The resulting number is the medium.

thnks

shasha12:

getlikeliyiah:

Order the data from least to greatest. Find the median of the data set and divide the data set into two halves. Find the median of the two halves.

shasha12:

okay

getlikeliyiah:

To find the median number: Put all the numbers in numerical order. If there is an odd number of results, the median is the middle number. If there is an even number of results, the median will be the mean of the two central numbers.

shasha12:
