Sometimes, simple examples help the most.
Take the 5 numbers, 1,2,3,4,5. The number in the middle is 3 so it is the median.
Now take 4 numbers, 1,2,3,4. There is no single middle integer. So we take the middle two, add them, and divide by 2. (2+3)/2=5/2 which is the median.
Note that when we have an even number of entries, we must also use this method, but we can just pick the middle number when there is an odd number of entries.

What is an ouutlier effect on the median?
An outlier pulls the median towards it. For example 1,2,3 Median=2 1,2,3,7 Median=2.5
Give an example of mean median and mode that are reported in a health care organization?
example of mean, median and mode that are reported in a health care organization
What is an example of median?
what is the median temperature of 68 ,63,65,60, and 67 degrees fa hrenhait
Can the mode and the median have the same value?
Yes. For example, in the sequence {1,2,2,2,2,3,4,7} 2 is the median, and 2 is also the mode.
How do you do the medium in math?
I'm guessing you mean the median. The median is when you put all the numbers given in a set in order, for example: 20, 21, 22, 23, 24. The median is the number in the middle of the set, which would be 22 in this example. If you have two numbers in the middle, find the average of the two numbers, and that's your median!
