Example Question #101 : How To Find Median
Find the median: 4 4 2 3 3 2 3 1 1 2 3 2 2 2 1 14 2
To find the median, put the data in order:
1 1 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 4 4 14
The data set contains 17 data points. The center or median value will have 8 points on either side.
The point in the very center is a 2.
Example Question #102 : How To Find Median
Find the median of the following set of numbers.
To solve, simply find the middle number when ordered from smallest to largest. Thus, since there are nine numbers, our answer will be five from either end. Therefore, our answer is .
Example Question #103 : How To Find Median
Find the median:
No median
First reorder all numbers in chronological order from the least to greatest.
The median is the middle number in a odd amount of numbers in a dataset.
Since we have an even amount of numbers, the median is the average of the numbers to the left and right of the central point.
Average the two numbers.
The median is:
Example Question #104 : How To Find Median
Find the median of the following set of numbers:
None
To find the median, simply find the middle number when they are ordered from smallest to largest. Thus, our answer is .
Example Question #105 : How To Find Median
Tom is driving from Los Angeles to San Francisco. During his drive, he cruise controlled his car for an hour at different speeds. These speeds were
What was the median of his speed when he was cruise controlling?
This problem is asking us to solve for the median of Tom's speeds. Median is the exact center of a set.
In order to easily see which number is exactly in the center, we can first organize our data set from smallest to greatest.
Now we can easily identify the center value of the set by gradually crossing off numbers from either side of the data set until we are left with one value..
We are left with 80. Therefore the median of Tom's cruise control speeds is 80.
Example Question #106 : How To Find Median
Find the median:
The median is the central number in an odd numbered set, or the average of the left and right number of the central point.
The set is already in chronological order from least to greatest.
The left number to the center is .
The right number to the center is
Add these two numbers and divide by two.
The median is .
Example Question #107 : How To Find Median
Find the median of the following set:
The numbers are already in chronological order.
Since there is an even amount of numbers, the median is the average of the two numbers to the left and right of the center.
Average the numbers four and nine.
The answer is:
Example Question #105 : How To Find Median
Find the median of the following set:
The numbers are already in chronological order.
Since there is an even amount of numbers, the median is the average of the two numbers to the left and right of the center.
Average the numbers four and nine.
The answer is:
Example Question #108 : How To Find Median
Find the median of the following data set:
Find the median of the following data set:
Whenever we are working with a data set, it can be helpful to put the terms in order:
Now that our terms are in order, we can do all sorts of things with them.
In this case, all we need to do is find the middle value. That is the definition of the median.
In this case, we have an equal number of terms, so we need to find the average of the middle two.
So our median is 39
Example Question #109 : How To Find Median
Find the median of the following set:
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:
