What's in between the numbers -2 and -.125????
-1.99, -1.80, -1.23, -1, -0.87, -0.43, -0.1250001
to name just a few...
I meant the median sorry
median or mean?
mean of those two numbers is . . .
((-2) + (-0.125)) / 2 = -1.0625
To find the numbers between -2 and -0.125, you need to see the incremental difference between them and then find the numbers within that range.
The first step is to calculate the incremental difference by subtracting the smaller number from the larger one:
-0.125 - (-2) = -0.125 + 2 = 1.875
Now, divide the incremental difference by the number of values you want to find. Let's say we want to find 5 numbers in between:
1.875 / 5 = 0.375
This gives us the interval between each number.
Starting from the smaller number, which is -2, we can add the interval multiple times to find the numbers in between. The first number between -2 and -0.125 will be found by adding the interval once to the smaller number:
-2 + 0.375 = -1.625
To find the subsequent numbers, continue adding the interval:
-1.625 + 0.375 = -1.25
-1.25 + 0.375 = -0.875
-0.875 + 0.375 = -0.5
-0.5 + 0.375 = -0.125
Therefore, the numbers between -2 and -0.125 are:
-1.625, -1.25, -0.875, -0.5, -0.125
