The median is always the middle value when the sequence is ordered.
The ordered sequence is:
3,9,14,16,17,18,21,21,22,26,30,32,35,37,37
There are only 15 values in the sequence (odd) therefore the median exists in the sequence (because it is odd) and is the 8th value (halfway)
Median = 21
==EXTRA==
When there is an even number of values the median is the average of the two numbers closest to where the middle value would be
e.g.
1,2,3,4,5, | ,6,7,8,9,10
________^_________
therefore the median is (5+6)/2 = 5.5
the median for 16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,17,17,17,17,17,17,18,18,18,20,21,25 is 17
16.5 is the median.
In ascending order (16, 16, 17, 17, 17, 18, 18) it is 17 that is in the middle.
The median of {10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20] is the 6th values which is 15.
(14, 15, 16, 16, 16, 18, 22, 25) Mode: 16 Mean: 17.75 Median: 16
11 12 15 16 18 17 the answer is 15.5
It is (13+14+16+17+17+18)/6.
It is 15.
16
The median is 19.
16
Arrange in order: 12 13 13 14 16 18 19 The median is the number in the middle, where there are are as many other numbers on one side as the other: Answer is median = 14
