How can you determine the median of a data set

You determine the median by listing the numbers(data) in order from least to greasiest and if it’s a odd number amount of numbers, it’s the middle number of the data set. If it’s a even number it’s the two middle numbers added together and divided by 2

E.g (data with odd number amount)

1,3,4,1,2,4,3

Step 1: List the numbers in order. ——-> 1,1,2,3,3,4

Now you look at the data and tell which is the middle number. If you have trouble trying to find the middle number, spilt the data into two equal pieces. Such as this 1,1,2 3 3,3,4. This way you can clearly tell that 3 is the middle number.
So the median is 3.

E.g (data with even number amount)

3,1,3.2,5,4,

Step 1: List the numbers in order.——->1,2,3,3,4,5

Step 2: Spilt the data into two equal groups. Since it’s even, it has to have TWO middle numbers. 1,2 3,3 4,5. Now you can see the TWO middle numbers. 3 and 3. Last step is to add both together which is 6 and divided by 2 which gives you 3 as the median.

Hope this helped.

0 = 0.40 / 0 = 0

= 0.20 = 9.80 ⁄2 =?

=0 , = = 0.20 =0.50 0 0.40 ⁄

=0−122 =0−12(9.80 ⁄2)(0.50)2 =1.2
