What else can I help you with?
What if the data set was even and the numbers were the same for the median?
You then add the two middle ones and divide by two to get the median. If the numbers are the same then that is your median.
Why isn't the median in the middle of a box and whisker plot?
The median is between Q1 and Q3 and is the same as Q2. These are the same as 25%, 50% and 75% so the median is in the middle of the box in a box and whisker plot.
Does the median have to be arranged from least to greatest?
The most common definition of the median is that given a set of data values it is the middle value of the data set when it has been arranged in ascending order. So, while the median is the number in the middle of a data set. Sometimes there is no single number in the middle in which case we take the mean of the two middle numbers. Weather you order the values from smallest to largest or largest to smallest, the middle will still be the same, in spite of the common definition using ascending order. For example 1,2,5,6,8 The median is 5. If I write those numbers are 8,6,5,2,1 the 5 is still the middle number in the set. With an even number of data values, such as 1,2,4,6,8,11, the median is the mean of 4 and 6 which is 5. If I write that set from largest to smallest the median is the same. So the median is the middlemost number. In most math classes, students are told to arrange the numbers from smallest to largest, however, you can see that this really makes no difference.
What is the definition of mean median and mode for a measure of center?
The mean is the same thing as the average. To find it you add all the numbers together and then divide by the number of numbers you added. The median is the one that is in the middle. To find it you put all of the numbers in descending order and cross off from each end until you reach the middle and then that's the median. The mode is the number that occurs the most frequently.
How do find the median of four numbers that are not the same?
You would add the two numbers in the middle and divide them by two and the answer would be the median.
What do you do when you have 2 numbers in the middle for median?
If they are the same numbers, it is that number if they are 2 different numbers, the median is the average of those 2 numbers ( the number directly in the middle of the 2 numbers )
How do you find the median when two numbers are in the middle?
If the two numbers are that same in the middle than the median is that number.However if the two numbers are different then you just find the average of those two numbers.
What would your median be if you had 84 and 85 as your numbers?
The median is the middle value or, in your case, where there is an even amount of numbers, the average of the two middle numbers. This means the median of 84 and 85 is the same as the average, which is 84.5 (84 and 85 divided by 2)
What is the median of two sorted arrays of the same size?
The median of two sorted arrays of the same size is the middle value when all the numbers are combined and arranged in ascending order.
What is mean and median?
mean~ all the numbers in the data added together divided by the number of data. The mean is the same as the average. median~ the exact middle of the set of data. Example: 1,1,2,2, the median is 1.5 mean- the average median- the middle number in a set of numbers in a group.Example of Median-1,3,5,7,9,4,5 (put them in order and list them from least to greatest)1,3,4,5,5,7,9the median is 5!

How does the median affect the graph of a normal distribution?
A normal distribution is symmetrical; the mean, median and mode are all the same, on the line of symmetry (middle) of the graph.
