Example Question #137 : How To Find Median

What is the median?  

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Do not assume that the given set of values are in chronological order from least to greatest.  The variables are not defined.  This means the variables can be assigned any number.  Additionally, we cannot assume that the numbers are in consecutive order.

The median is not necessarily the center  and  when the variables are unknown.

The definition of a median is the middle value in a given set.  This means that a median is still existent with our given dataset, but the exact median is unknown.

The correct answer is:  

Example Question #138 : How To Find Median

Find the median of the following set:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the median of any set, arrange the set in order from lowest to highest, and then find the number in the middle.  

If two numbers split the middle, take the average of the two of them.  

The best answer is:

Example Question #139 : How To Find Median

Find the median of the following set:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the median of any set, arrange the set in order from lowest to highest, and then find the number in the middle.  If two numbers split the middle, take the average of the two of them.  In this particular case all data entries are the same and therefore the median is equal to 2. 

To verify take the average of entry 5 and 6.

Example Question #140 : How To Find Median

Find the median of the following set:

 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the median of any set, arrange the set in order from lowest to highest, and then find the number in the middle.  

Since the data set an odd number of entries the median will lie in the middle.

Therefore the median is .

Example Question #141 : How To Find Median

Find the median of the following set:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the median of any set, arrange the set in order from lowest to highest, and then find the number in the middle.  

 

The set is already in order and has an odd number of entries therefore the median will lie at the middle entry.

Thus the median is .

 

 

Example Question #1765 : Algebra 1

Find the median of the following numbers:

{1, 9, 3, 14, 15, 13, 2, 7, 8, 4, 5}

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Start by putting the numbers in ascending order:

{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 13, 14, 15}

Once you do that you make your way to the middle number (as that is what the median is) which you find to be .
