What is the median fo the following set of numbers?
404,650,585,435,680,342,798
please! show me the work. thank you!
the median is the middle of the set, so
1. put the numbers in numerical order from smallest to largest
2. cross out the first and last
3. cross out the second and the second to last
4. continue like that until you're left with one number-this is your median
5. if you had an even set of numbers, you would end up with two numbers in the middle (you don't but just for future refrence) you would find the mean or average of those two numbers. add them and divide by two the product would be your median
using those steps do you think you can solve this? i hope this helps! :)
can you please check my work. I got 585 is the median . i hope it right or if not please help me again!
that's correct!
nice job! :)
Nice work, Pat! Good explanation, Amy!
gee thanks lol
amy, your work are great ! i like how you show me step by step this is an good example for any kids to learn from your excellent explanation. thank you! pat 5 th grader math student ,my teacher doesn't show me anything like at all this only for short moment.
To find the median of a set of numbers, you need to arrange the numbers in ascending order and then identify the middle value. If the set has an odd number of values, the median is the middle value. If the set has an even number of values, the median is the average of the two middle values.
Let's arrange the numbers in ascending order:
342, 404, 435, 585, 650, 680, 798
Since there are 7 values, which is an odd number, the median will be the middle value.
The middle value is the fourth number in the sorted set: 585.
Therefore, the median of the given set of numbers is 585.
