The median is the middle number of any given set when they are in order, least to greatest. If there is an even number of values, the median is the average of the middle two.
Ex. (10, 17, 20, 45, 68)
The median is 20.
when there are extreme values in the data
Let the data set be 3,4,5,6,7,8. First put the data in rank order ; already done!!!! To find the MEDIAN , we tak the two middle numbers, '5' & '6' in this case. Then (5 + 6) / 2 = 11/2 = 5.5 5.5 is the Median.
Median
No, the median does not have to be one of the data values. The median is the middle value of a sorted data set, and it can be the average of two middle numbers if the set has an even number of values. Thus, while 23 is the median, it may not necessarily appear in the original data set.
No, a data set cannot have more than one median. The median is defined as the middle value of a sorted data set, or the average of the two middle values if the data set has an even number of observations. While a data set can have repeated values, the median itself remains a single value that represents the central tendency of the data.
The median in a set of data, would be the middle item of the data string... such as: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 the Median of this set of data would be: 4
when there are extreme values in the data
The median of a data set is the number that is literally in the middle. For example: The median of the number set 1,1,3,4,7, is 3 because it is in the physical middle of the set of numbers. Note: To find a median, the numbers MUST be in written in order the median of 2,6,3, is not 6. You must rearrange them like: 2,3,6 and we can see 3 is the median
You can estimate them both.
You can estimate them both.
Find the median of set of data 1 6 19 24 26 31 33 46
Let the data set be 3,4,5,6,7,8. First put the data in rank order ; already done!!!! To find the MEDIAN , we tak the two middle numbers, '5' & '6' in this case. Then (5 + 6) / 2 = 11/2 = 5.5 5.5 is the Median.
The median is the midpoint of the data set. So half the observations are greater than the median and half are smaller.
The answer depends on the set of data.The answer depends on the set of data.The answer depends on the set of data.The answer depends on the set of data.

Mean, median and mode are ways to find averages. The mode is the most common answer in a set of data. The median the number that is in the middle when the numbers are put in order. The mean is the statical average.
