What is the median of this numbers 20 32 58 64 64 80?
To find the median, you add up the set of numbers and divide that answer by the total number of numbers that are in the set. For this question, the answer is 318/6 = 53
How do you find the median when there are to identical numbers in the set?
Find the two numbers, add them then divide them by 2. Ttyl. Bi
Does the median in the set of data have to be close in value to the mean?
The median of the set of data does not have to be close in value to the mean. First of all, what is the median? The median is the middle number between a set of numbers. So if you are asked what the median of a set of numbers is.... put the set of numbers in order from lowest in value to highest value. Example.... 1, 2, 3, 45, 100, 1010, 1020. In this example, what is the median, or the middle number? It's ... 45! If you want to find the mean ... add all of the numbers and divide the sum by the AMOUNT of numbers there are in the set.... the sum of the set is 2181.. and there are 7 numbers in the set. The mean is 2181 / 7 = 311. 57. You can see that 311 is not close in value to 45.
Why is the median not always in the data set?
The median is the middle number of a set. If the amount of numbers is even and the two middle numbers are not the same, then the value half way between them is the median. It is also the value when you add those two numbers and divide by 2. So if your two middle numbers were 7 and 5, the number halfway between them is 6, as is the number when you add 7 and 5 and divide by 2.
What do you do if you can't find the median in a set of numbers?
Every set of numbers has a median, so it can always be got. It is the middle value when they are arranged in numerical order. If there is an odd amount of numbers, then it is in the set, as there is one definite middle number. If there are an even amount of numbers, then you take the two middle numbers and find the value that is half way between them if they are different. You can also add the two numbers and divide by 2, which will also give you the median.
