Question

What the median number for 4, 8 10 5 9

Answer 1

the median is equal to the average of the numbers
add up all of the numbers and divide that by the total number of numbers to get the average, or median
for example: the average of 13,20, 15, and 23 would be (13+20+15+23)/4=17.75

if you have the sequence of 4, 8, 10, 5, and 9, the average would be (4+18+10+4+9)/5 = 9

Hope that helps!

Answer 2

Actually, the median is not the same as the average.
The mean and the average are the same.
To find the median, put these numbers in order.
So 4, 5, 8, 9, 10. Now see which number is in the middle.
It is 8, so 8 is the median number.
