Question

What is the median of the following set of numbers?

121, 347, 45, 21, 300, 614, 312, 333, 421

Answer 1

The median of the following set of numbers is 312.

if you order them from greatest to least it would look like this:
21, 45,121, 300, 312, 333, 347, 421, 614

then you just find the middle number, which in this case is 312 and that is your median

Answer 2

21, 45, 121, 300, 312, 333, 347, 421, 614,

The median is the middle number of a data set therefore you need to arrange the data is order from smallest to largest as I have done above. Then you need to find the number in the middle which is 312 in this case by finding the number which has the central position (position 5 in this case) of the data set. If there are an even number of numbers in the data set, you add them together and divide by 2 though that is not necessary this time as there are an odd number of numbers.
