Question

How do you find the median

Answer 1

In a list of numbers, such as 1,2,3,4,5,6,7, start from the right and cross off the last number. In this case, it's the 7. Then, go to the left and cross of the first number, the one. Keep going from right to left, and when you get down to one number in the middle, that is the median. However if there are two numbers in the middle, I think that you have to find the mean of those two numbers, and that should be the median. That's only if there are two numbers left in the middle.  Hope this helps!

Answer 2

The median is the middle score for a set of data that has been arranged in order of magnitude.

So order your vales, and then pick the middle record.

This works fine when you have an odd number of scores.



BUT

What happens when you have an even number of scores?

It is easy...

You would calculate the mean of the two middle records ..

in other words:
you simply have to add up the middle two scores and average the result.

I hope that helps!
