Question

Find the median of the set of data. 23 18 67 32 54 41 70 11 56 33 41 58

Answer 1

first, and very important, u have to put ur numbers in order

11,18,23,32,33,(41,41),54,56,58,67,70

the median is the middle number.....and if u have an odd number of numbers, it is easy to find...but when u have an even number of numbers...like this problem has 12 numbers, there will be 2 middle numbers....u take those 2 middle numbers and divide by 2 to get the median.

ur 2 middle numbers are 41 and 41.....add them and divide by 2 to find the median....(41 + 41) / 2 = 82/2 = 41 <== ur median

Answer 2

Put the numbers in order. Count how many numbers there are (12 in this case). If there’s an odd number of number find the number in the middle, of there is an even number then add both numbers and divide by 2. So 41 and 41 are both numbers in the middle so the answer is (41+41)/2 = 41
