Does median in math mean most some or half?
The median as an average this is found by putting all the numbers in numerical order from lowest to highest the number in the middle of the list is the median. For example in the list 3,5,6,9,10,11,12 the number 9 is the median.
How do you calculate the deviation?
Deviations are calculated from some value: the mean, the median, the maximum or whatever. You subtract that value from each observed value.
How do I use mean absolute deviation?
The first step is to find out what the deviation is from: the mean, median, some other fixed value. Whatever it is, call it m.For each observation x, calculate the absolute deviation, which is x - m or m - x, whichever is positive or zero. Finally, calculate the mean value (arithmetic average) of this set.
How do you calculate the missing length of a triangle?
It depends on what other information you have. Knowing the lengths of two sides of a triangle is not enough to calculate the third. You need to have some further information: and angle, the area, the length of an altitude or a median.
Which people would be LEAST likely to have a high median income?
The people least likely to have good incomes are those who were born into poverty. With the intentionally built barriers out of poverty, it is nearly impossible to move out of it in some situations.

How do you find the median of a dataset in Microsoft access?
This is a tricky problem. There is no built in functionality to find the median in Access, but you can write some VBA code to do it for you: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/210581 Excel is generally a quicker way to calculate the median unless the dataset is too large.

What was the average cost of a house in 2010?
The national median home price during 2010 was $166,100 according to the National Association of Realtors. The median price can vary greatly based on the region in which a home is based.

What is medion in math?
The median is the "middle number" of an ordered set of numbers. It is a measure of average (but not a measure that is commonly used, since it has some undesirable qualities).
Why is calculating the mean average better than the median or mode?
well when answering the mean you take the average of all the numbers so it be approxiamently around the answers and each number can affect the mean in many ways while a median is when you put the numbers in order and you get the middle number, because it is a middle the number can be far away from the beginning number or ending number. Mode is when the numbers appear the most and when picking mode it can be a dramatic change from the numbers around it. That is why calculating the mean average is better than take the median and mode, but sometimes some problems work better dealing with mode or median.
