"Depending on the size of the home you are looking to buy in Cleveland , for a average size home it can run from 160,000 anywhere to 250,000 right now."
To calculate the mean, you need all of the individual price, add them and divide by the number of prices. The median is the middle figure when they are ranked. Example: To simplify, imagine there are 5 homes that have been sold and these figures are in thousands of dollars. 100, 100, 900, 1000, 1500 The Mean = (100+100+900+1000+1500)÷5= 720 The Median is the middle figure which is 900.
The median is the middle number of the distribution of data. That is why the data has to be sorted. To find the mean, add up all of the data, and divide by the number of data points. So it is not necessary to sort the data, to find the mean.At the median, half of the data points are greater than that, and half are less than that. Suppose you drove around town and recorded prices of gasoline, and you found the following: 2.75, 2.77, 2.77, 2.79, 2.79, 2.80, 2.99, 3.09, 3.09, 3.17, 3.19. Note that I went ahead and sorted them.The middle price $2.80 is the median. Half of the stations have a price lower than this price, and half of the stations have a price higher than this. Many times, this type of information is more meaningful than the mean price of $2.93.
An outlier pulls the median towards it. For example 1,2,3 Median=2 1,2,3,7 Median=2.5
it doesnt have a median.
