Put them in order from least to greatest then find the middle number. In this case there are two 23 and 29 if you need one number I forget the formula, sorry.

How do you find the range when your median is 20?

There is no direct relationship between the range and the median. So knowing that your median is 20 does not automatically give you the range. The median is just the middle value. That does not tell you what the first and last values are, which is what you need to know to find the range. The median of 19, 20 and 21 is 20, and the range is 2. The median of 4, 20 and 79 is also 20, but the range is 75. The median of 8, 16, 17, 23, 50 and 320 is also 20, but the range is 312. So, as you can see, the Median in no way can tell you what the range will be. You need to know what all of the numbers are, or at least the lowest and highest to know the range.


What is the difference between finding the median for odd numbers or even numbers?

Median is finding the center of a line of some values. The values have to list in ascending order. When there are an odd amount of numbers: the median is the middle number. Example: find the Median of {12, 3, 5}. Put them in order: {3, 5, 12}. The middle number is 5, so the median is 5. When there are an even amount of numbers: There will be two numbers in the middle; the median in this case is the mean (average) of these two. Example: find the Median of {3, 5, 7, 12, 13, 14, 21, 23, 23, 23, 23, 29, 40, 56}. There are now 14 numbers and so we have a pair of middle numbers and the middle numbers are 21 and 23. To find median: (21 + 23) ÷ 2 = 22. So the Median in this example is 22.


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!
