Question

39, 87, 72, 88, 75, 87, 15, 53, 53
What is the median

Answer 1

72 or 75

Explanation:

If we are going in order then the median would be 72.

If we are going by what you posted, then it would be 75.

You were asking about the mean, so I though I would just add it in here.

So basically, the mean is just where you add up all the numbers, and then divide them by how many numbers you have.

For your problem, this is 39+87+72+88+75+87+15+53+53. This equals 569.

Now, lets count how many numbers we added: 1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9.

Ok, so lets divide the 569 by 9. This should get you 63.222...

That is your mean.

Answer 2

The median is 72 because you would have to least your number from least to greatest and what number is you middle number that is your median
