Question

how to find the median

Answer 1

We can find the median by using the formula:

(N+1/2) th item

For example:

Given data: 4,6,3,5,7

We have to arrange the data into ascending order:

=3,4,5,6,7

N(total no of items)=5

Now,

Median=(N+1/2)th item

=(5+1/2) th item

=(6/2) th item

= 3rd item

Median=5

Hope it helps

Good luck on your assignment

Answer 2

To find the median, put all numbers into ascending order and work into the middle by crossing off numbers at each end. If there are a lot of items of data, add 1 to the number of items of data and then divide by 2 to find which item of data will be the median
