What is the 'Median' in a sequence of numbers?

Question

a 6,7,10,4,9 Median?
b 38,40,59,43,48 Median?
c 17,17,13,13,16,14,18 Median?

Could you please explain this?

Answer 1

Arrange your sequence of numbers from the smallest to largest...

then the middle number in your sequence is your median

it's simple as that.

for example

A. 6, 7, 10, 4, 9

Rearrange to

4, 6, 7, 9, 10

The middle number in the sequence is 7 as you can see

Simple :D

hope it helps

Answer 2

Eugene is correct.
The Math definition is:
"The middle measurement when items are arranged in order". For numbers, the order is size. In cases where there is no actual middle number, one takes the average of the two items on either side of the middle.

If the list is A B C D E (in order of size) then C is the median.

If the list is F G H I, then the median is (G + H)/2

The median is not the same as the average (sum all items, then divide by the number of items).

The median is of the same family as the percentile. For example, the 20-percentile is the item such that 20% of items are below and 80% above. The median is the "50-percentile" meaning that 50% of items are below and 50% above.

Don't forget to rewrite the numbers in order of size before finding the median.

Answer 3

the Median is the middle # so put the #'s in order and the middle # is ur answer for example

A. was 6,7,10,4,9 put them in order
4,6,7,9,10, now find the middle #

try to figure out the rest.
psssssssst.... (cheat code)
