Question

Here is a list of numbers: 3.9 , 7 , 3.3 , 1 , 1.4 , 1.7 , 2.1 , 3.3 , 5.2 State the median. Give your answer as a decimal.

Answer 1

A median.

The "middle" of a sorted list of numbers. To find the Median, place the numbers in value order and find the middle number.

When there are two middle numbers we average them.

We have:

3.9, 7, 3.3, 1, 1.4, 1.7, 2.1, 3.3, 5.2

Let's sort the numbers from the smallest to the largest

1, 1.4, 1.7, 2.1, 3.3, 3.3, 3.9, 5.2, 7

The median is 3.3

Answer 2

Answer:

3.3

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing you have to do is put them in order from least to greatest.

1, 1.4, 1.7, 2.1, 3.3, 3.3, 3.9, 5.2, 7

Check off one from the left side and one from the right side until you are left with the one in the middle.

When you do that, you are left with 3.3
