It might not be statistically representative of the population. However, the sample median can still be calculated as the value which is equal to or greater than half of the population.

How do you find the median when two numbers are in the middle?

If the two numbers are that same in the middle than the median is that number.However if the two numbers are different then you just find the average of those two numbers.


Why do you use mean median and mode?

Together they tell you more about a series of numbers that any one of them. mean - average median - middle number if the numbers are listed from smallest to largest mode - most common number If your mean and median are close to one another, the statistical distribution is usually fairly good. Likewise, if the mode is close to the mean and median, it gives more verification that the distribution is a nice bell curve. The mode is probably the least useful of the three, as it assumes that there are many repeating numbers. In many actual situations, there aren't enough repeating numbers to make the mode of any value.


Why is a median different from a mode?

Median is the middle of a set of numbers. The mode is the most common number to appear in a set of numbers. This answer is true unlike most others on wikipedia.


What is the median if you have ten numbers?

How do you find the median group if the middle two median numbers are in two different groups?

You need to add them all together in each group then divide by the amour of numbers. That will give you the average.


How do you get the median of a group of numbers?

1) Put the set of numbers in order from least to greatest 2) Cross 2 at a time, one from the end and one from the beginning 3) Keep repeating step number 2 until you end up with 1 number 4) the remaining number is the median


What happens when the median has two numbers?

When the median has two numbers, you add the two together and divide by 2 . The median doesn't really have 'two numbers'; you are talking about finding the median of a set of numbers that contains an even number of numbers. The median is half-way between the two.


What if there are 2 different numbers in a median say 13 and 22 what do you do?

13 plus 22 is 35 35 divided by 2 is 17.5 Since there are only 2 numbers, the median is the average of these two numbers. You will have the same as the mean.


What is the median of 25343123222628 and 35?

The median of 2 numbers is the same as their mean.So, median = (25343123222628 + 35)/2 = 12,671,561,611,331.5The median of 2 numbers is the same as their mean.So, median = (25343123222628 + 35)/2 = 12,671,561,611,331.5The median of 2 numbers is the same as their mean.So, median = (25343123222628 + 35)/2 = 12,671,561,611,331.5The median of 2 numbers is the same as their mean.So, median = (25343123222628 + 35)/2 = 12,671,561,611,331.5


Do the mean median and mode of a collection of numbers always have to be different?

No, in a normal distribution they are the same.
