Answer:

There are 6 classes we find the median by finding the middle number of the 3rd highest class and 4th highest class, even if this is a decimal.

6/3 = 3+ 0.5

The process would be different if some values are the same values already on the chart total of each class.

ie) 20 31 14 22 20 31

small data like this below you can rearrange

14 20 20 22 31 31

and see that 21 is the correct value

as there are even numbers, so we choose 20 , 22

and select the middle value = 21

Explanation:

If there is an even number of numbers locate the two middle numbers so that there is an equal number of values to the left and to the right of these two numbers. Step 3: If there is an odd number of numbers, this middle number is the median. If there is an even number of numbers add the two middles and divide by 2.
