The one closest to the Middle if your sequence is of an even set of digits. The median will be a specific number if you have a sequence of odd digits.

What does mean median mean?

It depends on the context.In geometry, a median is a line from a vertex of a triangle to the mid-point of the opposite side.In statistics, the median of a set of data is the value such that it is larger than half the values in the data set, and smaller than a half.Median means the number that comes up in the middle. An example would be:here are your numbers 1,2,3,4,5 your median would be 3. You have to have your numbers in order before doing median.If the sequence you are given is not ordered, you must order it before finding the median. Thus for the sequence 2,1,5,3,4 the median is 3 (and not 5).Median means the number that comes up in the middle. An example would be:here are your numbers 1,2,3,4,5 your median would be 3.

What is a median in arithmetic?

The median is the "middle" number in a set of data or a sequence. If you have the sequence 2,3,4,5,6 4 would be the median.


What is the median of 18 16 32 26 30 37 35 22 9 21 21 17 3 14 37?

The median is always the middle value when the sequence is ordered. The ordered sequence is: 3,9,14,16,17,18,21,21,22,26,30,32,35,37,37 There are only 15 values in the sequence (odd) therefore the median exists in the sequence (because it is odd) and is the 8th value (halfway) Median = 21 ==EXTRA== When there is an even number of values the median is the average of the two numbers closest to where the middle value would be e.g. 1,2,3,4,5, | ,6,7,8,9,10 ________^_________ therefore the median is (5+6)/2 = 5.5


How do you find the median in a sequence of numbers?

you put the #s in numerical order (from biggest to smallest) then find the # in the middle. If there are 2 in the middle then you find the average of them


What is the median of these numbers 31 30.5 29.2?

When numbers are put in order either least to greatest or greatest to least, the one in the middle is the median. In an even set of numbers the average of the middle two numbers is the median. 30.5 is the median of these 3 numbers.
