Find the median of the numbers
3, 6, 10, 12, 27, 62
How do I answer this?
The median is the middle number. In this set, with an even number, take the average of 10 and 12 for the median.
So 10+12=22
22divide by 2 = 11
Is 11 the correct answer?
Right.
To find the median of a set of numbers, you need to arrange them in ascending order. In this case, the numbers are 3, 6, 10, 12, 27, and 62. Once you have them in order, you can then determine the median.
The median is the middle value when the numbers are arranged in ascending order. If there is an odd number of values, then the median is simply the middle number. If there is an even number of values, then the median is the average of the two middle numbers.
In this case, we have 6 numbers, which is an even number. So, to find the median, we take the average of the two middle numbers. The two middle numbers are 10 and 12. Adding them together and then dividing by 2 gives us (10 + 12) / 2 = 22 / 2 = 11.
Therefore, the median of the numbers 3, 6, 10, 12, 27, and 62 is 11.
