Take the number in between the middle two numbers. Like 32, 34. The median would be 33
To find the mean, you all them all up and divide by how many ever there are. To find the median, you put them in order and the middle one is the median. If there are an even number of data, you take the two in the middle, add them together, then divide by 2.
A quartile is a given section in a range of data. To find the quartile, you must first find the median. Then find the "median of the median", using these to separate your data into sections, giving you a total of four sections of data.
No, they must have a median. However, if the data set is of even order, the median may not belong to the data set. For example, the median of 1,2,3,10 is halfway between 2 and 3 or 2.5 which is not a data point.
You can estimate the median and the mean.
Yes, it can. Even if you have an uneven amount of numbers you can find the median by taking to two middle numbers, adding them together and then dividing by 2.
Let the data set be 3,4,5,6,7,8. First put the data in rank order ; already done!!!! To find the MEDIAN , we tak the two middle numbers, '5' & '6' in this case. Then (5 + 6) / 2 = 11/2 = 5.5 5.5 is the Median.
To find the median of data, you first order all the data from smallest to largest. The second step is to find the middle value on the list. If there are an odd number of values, this is easy, you simply take the middle value and that's the median. If there are an even number of values, you find where the middle would be, and then look at the numbers either side and take the mean of those two numbers, and that's your median.
The median is the middle number of any given set when they are in order, least to greatest. If there is an even number of values, the median is the average of the middle two. Ex. (10, 17, 20, 45, 68) The median is 20.
For an even number of data points the median is the average of the middle two values. I.e. add the two numbers and divide by 2.
You then add the two middle ones and divide by two to get the median. If the numbers are the same then that is your median.
The fact that two of the four numbers are identical in no way changes the way you would find the median. When finding the median of a set of data, you must sort the data from highest to lowest (or lowest to highest). The data point right smack in the middle is the median. If there is an even number of data points -- as is the case here -- you must take the average of the two points in the middle. Let's say these are your data: 10, 10, 6, 3. The median is the average of 10 and 6, or 8. If your data is 10, 6, 6, 3, then the median is 6. If it's 10, 6, 3, 3, the median is 4.5 (the average of 6 and 3).
The median of an even number of data points is the mean of the two that are central. Since you gave only 2 data points, the median is going to be the mean of the two data points, so 15'59" ■
