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.
What do you do if there are 2 numbers in the middle in a median?
pic the number between the middle one's e.g 1,3,4,6,8,9 the median would be 5 because it is between the 2 middle numbers
How do you find the median of a set of numbers with 2 middle numbers?
Take the average of the two middle numbers.
What is the median of 98 101?
The median average of a set of numbers is the middle number when the numbers are listed in order. If there is an even number of numbers then the median is the mean average of the middle two: There are 2 numbers, therefore the median is the mean average of the middle two, which are the 1st and the 2nd → median = (98 + 101) ÷ 2 = 99.5
How can the median in a set of numbers be 0?
the median is the middle in a set of numbers so if you had a set of 5 numbers like -2, -1, 0, 1, and 2 the middle number would be zero.
