Question

How do I find the median for 77,82,87,85,32,78?

Answer 1

80

Explanation:

The median is the middle value of the data arranged in ascending order. If there is no exact middle then the median is the average of the 2 values either side of the middle

Arrange the data in ascending order ( smallest to largest )

32, 77, 78, 82, 85, 87

There is no value exactly in the middle, use the average

median =
`(78+82)/(2)` =
`(160)/(2)` = 80
