Fill in the blank so that the given statement is true.
The median is 77
65,68,78,82,89,__
To find the missing number that will make the statement true, you need to understand what a median is. The median is the middle value in a set of numbers when they are arranged in order.
To solve this, let's first arrange the numbers provided in ascending order: 65, 68, 78, 82, 89.
We can see that there are 5 numbers in total, so the middle number will be the third number when the numbers are arranged in order.
Therefore, the missing number that will make the statement true is 78.
Now, the sequence becomes 65, 68, 78, 82, 89, with 78 being the median.
