How do you find the median of a set of numbers?

Answer 1

You order alle the numbers you have from your set of data. Like this:

2,3,4,5,7,9,10

Then you take away one number at a time from each end. Like this:

3,4,5,7,9

And again:

4,5,7

Until you have only one number left:

5

That is how you find the median.

Answer 2

Median of a number set:

Starting with a group of values say: 5, 65, 7, 21, 4, 18, 6, 11

line up in ascending value: 4, 5, 6, 7, 11, 18, 21, 65

If odd number of values, middle number is median.

If even number of values, add middle two values and divide by 2.

In this example, even number of values, middle two are 7 and 11, so

add and divide by 2 = 18 / 2 = 9
