Answer 1

Answer: The middle number in a data set when the data are put in order.

Answer 2

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

To find the median of a set of numbers, you need to find what the number in the center is in a listed group of numbers. I'll use the example of these numbers:

6, 9, 5, 4, 3, 4, 2.5, 8, 0, 1, 5.

First, we need to organize the numbers in numerical order to find the median.

0, 1, 2.5, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 8, 9.

It would be the most simple and helpful to cross out each number until we get our center number; the median. (I can't cross the numbers out, so I'll underline them instead.) When crossing out, both sides need to be full of equally crossed out numbers.

0, 1, 2.5, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 8, 9.

The number in the center for this example problem is 4. Thus meaning that our median is 4.

Sometimes though, it is not always a whole number. Sometimes you'll have to find the median in between two numbers. For example, let's just say you got stuck between 4 and 5. Then the median for that set of data would be 4.5, because it is still in the middle of the two.

I hope that this helps, let me know if you have any more questions about this topic.
