What do you do when you have 2 numbers in the middle for median?
If they are the same numbers, it is that number if they are 2 different numbers, the median is the average of those 2 numbers ( the number directly in the middle of the 2 numbers )
What if there are 2 numbers in the median?
If there are 2 numbers as the median, you find the mean of those 2 numbers. (add both numbers and divide by 2)
What is a median in a set of numbers?
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
What happens when the median has two numbers?
When the median has two numbers, you add the two together and divide by 2 . The median doesn't really have 'two numbers'; you are talking about finding the median of a set of numbers that contains an even number of numbers. The median is half-way between the two.
How does the mean and the median compare?
mean is the average of a bunch of numbers. the median is the middle number of the bunch. if the bunch has an even amount of numbers, you average the middle 2 numbers to get the median.
