Question

What is the median for the following scores for Mrs. Johnson's first test? 59, 22, 87, 44, 96, 38, 70, 85, 79

Answer 1

To work out the median, you need to numerically sort the data (because currently, it's unordered).

The ordered set of data is: 22, 38, 44, 59, 70, 79, 85, 87, 96

Now you just need to pick the middle value, which is 70:

(as you can see: 22, 38, 44, 59, 70, 79, 85, 87, 96)

Therefore, your answer is 70 :)

Answer 2

Hello,

59, 22, 87, 44, 96, 38, 70, 85, 79

=> 22 ; 38 ; 44 ; 59 ; 70 ; 79 ; 85 ; 87 ; 96

The median is 70.

Bye :)
