Question

What is the median of 100, 75, 40, 90, 80, 100, 92, 88, 80, 84, 81? I got 82 but it wasn’t right.

Answer 1

The median is what number is the middle so list the number in order and remove 1 from each end until you get to the last number

So you get 84

Answer: 84

Work 40,75,80,80,81,    84     ,88,90,92,100,100



Answer 2

To start you have to order the numbers from least to greatest, getting 40, 75, 80, 80, 81, 84, 88, 90, 92, 100, 100. Then you would take out the end number on each side, getting 75, 80, 80, 81, 84, 88, 90, 92, 100. You continue taking numbers off the end until you get to the middle number, or the middle two numbers if there is an even amount of numbers, which would give you the median 84. If you had an even amount of numbers and got down to two numbers, you would add them together and divide them by two.
