i need help with this problem .please! show me how to do it. What is the median for the following number? 11,30,24,20,15,31,32,20,18,29.
thank you!
Arrange those numbers in order. The middle number is the median.
Since you have an even number of numbers, the median is half-way between the 5th and 6th numbers.
can you check my answer it's 20 is the median. my next question how do you solve this problem . what is the median of the following number? 24,99,101,93,14,29?
here my answer i add 29+93=122
than i divid it by 2=6.29 please correct me if i;m wrong thanks!!
The fifth number is 20; the sixth is 24. What is half way between 20 and 24? That's the median.
For the second problem, how can 6.29 be half way between 29 and 93??
93 - 29 = 64
64/2 = 32
29 + 32 = 61
thank you ms.sue now i'm kind of get better understanding than last time since , you told me more about this problem. thank you again!!
You're welcome, Pat.
To find the median of a set of numbers, you need to first arrange the numbers in ascending order. Then, you can find the middle number directly if the total number of elements is odd. If the total number of elements is even, you need to find the average of the two middle numbers.
Here is how to find the median for the given set of numbers {11, 30, 24, 20, 15, 31, 32, 20, 18, 29}:
1. Arrange the numbers in ascending order: {11, 15, 18, 20, 20, 24, 29, 30, 31, 32}.
2. Determine the middle number(s) based on the total number of elements:
- Since there are 10 numbers, which is an even number, we need to find the average of the two middle numbers.
- The two middle numbers are the fifth and sixth numbers: 20 and 24.
- Add these two middle numbers: 20 + 24 = 44.
- Divide the sum by 2 to find the average: 44 / 2 = 22.
Therefore, the median of the given set of numbers is 22.
