Question

What is the median of this set of data? 100, 102, 103, 106, 109

Answer 1

Hey there!

A median is the middle of the numbers. They also have to be in order. The order from least to greatest is 100, 102, 103, 106, 109. Cross of one number on the farthest left, then farthest right. Keep doing that and you are left with 103. The median of this set of data is 103.

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

The median is 103.

Explanation:

The median of a set of data is the middlemost number in the set. The median is also the number that is halfway into the set. If there is an even number of items in the data set, then the median is found by taking the mean (average) of the two middlemost numbers.

To find the median, the data should first be arranged in order from least to greatest.

Ordering the data from least to greatest, we get:

100, 102, 103, 106, 109

The median is 103.
