To find the median of a set of numbers write them in order, then:
* if there are an odd number of numbers then the median is the number in the middle
* otherwise there are an even number of numbers and the median is the mean average of the two numbers in the middle.
With 4 numbers there is an even number of numbers, so the median is the mean average of the 2nd and 3rd numbers when they are sorted into order.
Example: Find median of {3, 9, 4, 5}
Ordered → {3, 4, 5, 9}
→ median = mean_average(4, 5) = (4 + 5) ÷ 2 = 4.5
The median is 4
Put the numbers in order. The odd one in the middle is the median: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 (4 is the median). If even numbers, it is between the two middle numbers: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 (between 4 and 5 is the median).
The median is 8.
There would be no median.
3.5 If there is an even amount of numbers and the two median numbers (in this case 3 and 4) are different, the median of the set is the mean of those two numbers.
The median of the four numbers is 10.
If you have numbers like 1,2,3,4,5 and 6 the median would be between 3 and 4 so the median would be 3.5
take the 2 middle numbers, add them together, then divide by 2 and that number is your median.
If its a odd set of numbers then the median will be (n+1/2)th term. where, n=set of numbers like 2,4,5 then the median will be (3+1/2)th term=2nd term=4. therefore the median is 4 And if its a even set of numbers like 1,4,7,9,6,8 then the median will be the (sum of mid numbers/2) 7+9/2=8 therefore the median is 8
4
The median of 3 4 4 5 and 8 is the number in the middle of the line of numbers. If you use the method of crossing out the numbers from the outside in you will realize the answer is 4.
The median is the 'middle' number. Therefore, you would rearrange the numbers into chronological order: 3, 4, 6. 4 is in the middle, hence, it is the median.
