Question

What is the median of the following numbers: 3, 5, 2, 10, 6, 3, 7, 3

Answer 1

4

Explanation:

2, 3, 3, 3, 5, 6, 7, 10

3+5=8

8÷2=4

Median is the middle, but here there are 2 numbers in the middle so we add them together then divide the outcome number by 2 and the answer is the middle number.

Answer 2

4

Explanation:

First, set the number set from least to greatest:

2 , 3 , 3 , 3 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 10

Next, find the middle number(s) [median]. Note that if there is a even number in the given set (as in this case), you will find the mean of the 2 middle numbers. In this case, the middle numbers are: 3 & 5:

(3 + 5)/2 = (8)/2 = 4

4 is your median.
