The following are the temperatures in °C for the first 12 days of January:

-3.5, 0, 2.5, -4.5, 6, 4, -1, -4, 5.5, -2, 1.5, 2
What is the median temperature for those 12 days?
Give your answer as a decimal.

Answer 1

Hey! First you will put the numbers in order least to greatest. So it would be -4.5, -4, -3.5, -2, -1, 0, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 4, 6. 0 is the median because it in in the middle here’s how. You cross out -4.5 and 6 then 4 and -4 then -3.5 and 2.5 then 2 and -2 then -1 and 1.5 and you’re left with just the 0! Hope this helped.
