Question

− 11 , − 7 , 7 , − 2 , 16 , 10 , 20 , − 17 , − 10 , − 12 State the median.

Answer 1

Explanation:

firstly arrange it increasingly

-2,-7,-10,-11,-17, 7,10,16,20

n=9 it is odd so we use (n+1/2 )th formula

9+1/2

10/2=5th

os it is -17

Answer 2

-4.5

Explanation:

You arrange the numbers from lowest to highest value:

-17, -12, -11, -10, -7, -2, 7, 10, 16, 20

Then you find the one in the middle:

-7, -2

Because there are two in the middle, you add them and divide them by two:

(-7 + -2)/2 = -4.5

Your answer is -4.5.
