Question

What is the median

15, 16, 17, 17, 17, 17, 18, 19

Answer 1

15, 16, 17, 17, 17, 17, 18, 19

*Remember, the median is the middle number of an ordered data set going from least to greatest :)

So, because our data set is already in order from greatest to least, we simply find the middle by covering up the numbers one by one as we get closer to the middle :)

SO, our median is 17, because it is in the middle of the data set.

Answer 2

Median is the middle value in a list of numbers from smallest to lowest, so this list is already in order! When you have two numbers both in the middle because there isnt One value in the dead center, you add them and divide by two. In this case you have (17+17)/2 = 17
