Question

Calculate the median 5,10,12,4,6,11,13,5

Answer 1

For this case, we have by definition that, the median of a set of numbers is the average number in the set, after the numbers have been ordered from lowest to highest. If there is an even number in the set, the median is the average of the two middle numbers.

So, the given set is:

{4,5,5,6,10,11,12,13}

Since there are 8 numbers, the set is even. Then we find the average of the two numbers in the middle:

$\frac {6 + 10} {2} = \frac {16} {2} = 8$

The median is 8

ANswer:

8
