Question

What is the median of the following data set?

{5, 2, 9, 7, 4}

5
7
8

Answer 1

the median is the middle number
to find the median you first have to put the number in order from least to greatest

Answer 2

there's 5 numbers so they wouldn't have to do any dividing
the only time they would divide is if there were two middle numbers
you would add them up then divide it by two then you would have the median
for example if i had the data set 1 3 6 7 9 9, there are two numbers in the middle, 6 and 7
so i would add them up, 6+7=13, then divide 13 by two, 13÷2=6.5
6.5 would be the median
