Find the median of 33,50,46,25,30,37
I placed them in order so
25,30,33,37,46,50
Do i say the answear is 33,37? or is there another step to do when there are two numbes in the middle?
The answer is 35 because that is the median of your two middle numbers.
You divide the difference between 33 and 37. The median is 35.
To find the median, you're on the right track by arranging the numbers in ascending order. After sorting the numbers, you correctly listed: 25, 30, 33, 37, 46, 50. When there is an even number of values, there are two possible approaches to finding the median:
1. Take the average of the two middle numbers: As you can see, 33 and 37 are the two numbers in the middle. To find the median, you would calculate the average of these two values by adding them together and dividing by 2: (33 + 37) / 2 = 70 / 2 = 35. Therefore, the median is 35.
2. Identify the value between the two middle numbers: Since there are only six numbers in this case, we can locate the middle value directly. In this case, the number exactly between 33 and 37 is 35. Therefore, the median is also 35.
In conclusion, the median of the numbers 33, 50, 46, 25, 30, and 37 is 35.
