Question

Find the median of the baseball batting averages. 0.264 0.211 0.199 0.236 0.283 0.257 0.225

Answer 1

0.236

Explanation:

first you put them from least to greatest and find the middle number because that is what a median is. Median->Middle

Answer 2

0.236

Explanation:

The data is as follows:

0.264, 0.211, 0.199, 0.236, 0.283, 0.257, 0.225.

First of all,the median of a set of numbers is the number that, occurs in the middle, if the numbers are arranged in ascending or descending order of magnitude.

We now order the numbers:

0.199,0.211, 0.225, 0.236,0.257, 0.264, 0.283

The number appearing at the middle is 0.236

Hence the median is 0.236

Note:In a situation where two numbers appear in the middle, the median is calculated by finding the mean of these two numbers (i. e add the two numbers and divide by 2)
