Simple answer:Divide the total number of observations (plus 1, if small) by 2 to find the middle rank.Look at the cumulative frequencies for the grouped data and find the group in which the middle rank would appear. That is the median group.More sophisticated answer:Withing the median group, interpolate.
You put the numbers in order from least to greatest then, start at the beginning and end, and cross out one... two... three... four..., then so on, until you have only one number in the middle. Example 27,44,45,46,52; cross out 27, then... 52, then... 44, then... 46, then... 45 is the last answer left, so 45, is your answer. man, whoever answered this question is a total fool. they wanted to know how to find the median of GROUPED DATA not just the median. wow what a fool.
when there are extreme values in the data
Arrange the data in increasing order and count the number of data points = N. Find the integer K = N/2 or (N+1)/2. The Kth number in the ordered set is the median. Now consider only the numbers from the smallest to the median and find the median of this subset. This is the lower quartile = Q1. Then consider only the numbers from the original median to the largest. Find the median of this subset. It is the upper quartile = Q3. Then IQR = Q3 - Q1
The median is the mean of the middle two. For example, find the median of the set {1, 3, 4, 6, 9, 10, 15, 20}. There are 8 items in the data set, so the median is the mean of the middle two. The middle two are the 4th and 5th data items: 6 & 9 median = mean of 6 & 9 = (6 + 9)/2 = 7.5
it is used to find mean<median and mode of grouped 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.

find assumed mean data is 46,55,52,59,63,47,56,50,51,55 ,
A quartile is a given section in a range of data. To find the quartile, you must first find the median. Then find the "median of the median", using these to separate your data into sections, giving you a total of four sections of data.
You can estimate the median and the mean.
Can the median and mode be used to describe both categorical data and numerical data
when there are extreme values in the data
To find the mean, you all them all up and divide by how many ever there are. To find the median, you put them in order and the middle one is the median. If there are an even number of data, you take the two in the middle, add them together, then divide by 2.
