What is the median?
-26,-24,-19,-26,-13,36,3,-15

Answer 1

The median is -17.

1. Arrange your numbers in numerical order

2. Count how many numbers you have

3. If odd divide by 2 and round up to get the position of the median number

4. If even divide by 2 go the number in that position and average it with the number in the next higher position to get the median.
