Example Question #271 : Statistics And Probability

What is the median of 8,9,5,4,2,6 ?

Possible Answers:

$\frac{11}2{}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{11}2{}$

Explanation:

In order to find the median of a set of numbers, we must find identify the middle number of the set when all of the set's numbers are arranged in ascending or descending order. Given 8,9,5,4,2,6 , we know that the ordered set is 2,4,5,6,8,9 . Since we have an even number of terms, we must now take the middle two terms, and , and average them in order to find the median:

$\frac{5+6}{2}=\frac{11}{2}$ .

Example Question #72 : How To Find Median

Refer to the following set of numbers:

23, 24, 24, 24, 26, 27, 29, 29, 31, 36

Find the median of the set.

Possible Answers:

26.5

27.5

Correct answer:

26.5

Explanation:

The median of the set is the middle number. To find this, put the numbers in order from least to greatest.

23, 24, 24, 24, 26, 27, 29, 29, 31, 36

In this case, there are two "middle numbers". In order to find the median, take the average of our two middle numbers:

$\frac{26+27}{2}=26.5$
