Order the observations according their ordinal value. If you have an odd number, k, of observations, then the observation is position (k+1)/2 is the median. are lucky, the median is the middle-ranking observation.
If you have an even number of observations then the median is the average of the observations ranked k/2 and k/2+1. If you are lucky, both will be the same and so will be the median. Otherwise there may be no reliable measure of the median.

What is the easiest to compute mean median or mode?
The mode is the only one of these measure which can be used with qualitative data: the mean or median are impossible to compute. Also, for a data set consisting of a relatively small number of observations of a discrete variable the mode or modal class is the easiest to find.
How to find Median of probability distribution?
how do i find the median of a continuous probability distribution
How do find the median with 4 different numbers?
There would be no median.
Find the median of 8 5 13 8 11?
The median is 8.
How do you find the median in a problem?
IF you want to find the median in a maths question you get your sequence and put it in order (smallest to largest) then to find the median you find the middle number and if there is no middle number you half the one the is closest to the middlei hope i helped you
Measurement of qualitative variables using median?
The median shows where the 'middle' of your data is. For qualitative data, this only makes sense when the variable is ordinal. An ordinal variable is one whose values have a natural order, eg never/rarely/sometimes/often/always. If you have nominal data (qualitative data with no order) eg democratic/republican/other, you might find the mode (most common value) useful.
Where can you find information about qualitative?
There are many websites which offer information about qualitative research. Some of these are Survey Gizmo, Marketing Donut and Social Research Methods.
Mathematical definition of median?
The median of a set of values is the number in the mid-ordinal position of the set in ordered form. To find the median of a set of number, first put them in order and then the median is the one in the middle. If there are 2n+1 numbers (n = integer) then the median is the n+1th number. If there are 2n, then the median is either defined as the the average of the nth and n+1th numbers.
How do you find ordinal number and ordinal word of the number 60?
The ordinal word is sixtieth. There is no ordinal number.
Why do you find median?
You find the median to find the middle number

How to find Median of probability distribution?
how do i find the median of a continuous probability distribution
Can you find the mean of qualitative data?
no
What are the advantages and disadvantages of median?
Median cannot be used for qualitative data (a mode can).The sampling distribution of the median is complicated (the mean is well studied).Median can usually be used for data that can be ordered without there being a ratio scale. For example, "small-medium-large", or "very negative-negative-neutral-positive-very positive". A mean cannot be calculated without arbitrarily assigning a numerical value to the terms.A median is not dependent on all the values which means that it is not distorted by outliers (extreme values).It is easy to find the median value from cumulative frequency charts.
What is the median of a list of numbers?
It is the central number in the ordered set. To find the median of a list of numbers, you have to put the numbers from least to greatest and then count in an equal number from each side. For n data values, the median will be the ordinal number (n+1)/2 For even numbers of values, it is the average of the 2 middle numbers. Example : 1 2 4 4 5 6 7 7 7 the median is 5 1 2 4 4 4 5 6 7 7 7 the median is 4.5 (4 + 5) / 2
How do find the median with 4 different numbers?
There would be no median.
What happens to the median when you come up with two answer?
when you have an even amount of numbers while trying to find the median, you first find the two numbers that are at the median and then take all the numbers between them and find the median of that. if that amount of digits is also even, then you must have a decimal median.
