Do extremely high or low scores affect the value of the median?

No, extremely high or low values will not affect the median. Because the median is the middle number of a series of numbers arranged from low to high, extreme values would only serve as the end markers of the values.


What is the median if the scores of an even number of cases are arranged from high to low?

If it is a small list of scores, like 6 of them, write them in a list, for example: 96, 87, 80, 79, 75, 75 Find the 'middle' which will occur BETWEEN two numbers 96, 87, 80 (middle) 79, 75, 75. Average the two numbers on either side of the 'middle.' In this example (80 + 79) / 2 = 79.5 If the list is larger find the middle by dividing the total number of cases by 2. In this example 6 / 2 = 3. The median will be the middle BETWEEN the 3rd and 4th score. (Average the 3rd and 4th score)


Which measure of central tendency is used when data is not numerical?

When the data are not numerical but can be ordered , the median may be used as a measure of central tendency. Put the data in order and choose the middle value. For example, low, medium,medium,low, high etc.


What does compatible number mean in math?

Compatible number is one that is near the actual number, but is easier to use for addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division. In other words, it is easy to use for estimating the answer to an arithmetic problem. Example: 38 + 23 A compatible number for 38 might be 40 A compatible number for 23 might be 20 (or 25) The sum of the compatible numbers would be 60 (or 65). So you know the answer will be near there. If you choose 40 and 20, you know that one of your compatible numbers is a little too high, and the other is a little too low. So your estimate of the answer (40+20=60) will be pretty close. (Your estimators are high by 2 and low by 3, so you know your answer is low by 1. It is really 61, not 60.) If you choose 40 and 25, you know that both of your compatible numbers are a little too high, so your answer will be a little more high. As it turns out, both "estimates" are high by 2, so the estimated answer (65) is high by 2+2=4. The actual result is 61 = 65-4
