Median
|
The middle number (in a sorted list of numbers). Half the numbers in the list are less, and half the numbers are greater.
To find the Median, place the numbers you are given in value order and find the middle number.
Example: find the Median of {12, 3 and 5}. Put them in order: {3, 5, 12}, the middle number is 5, so the median is 5.
If there are two middle numbers (as happens when there are an even amount of numbers) then average those two numbers.
Example: find the Median of {12, 3, 5 and 2}. Put them in order: {2, 3, 5, 12}, the middle numbers are 3 and 5, the average of 3 and 5 is 4, so the median is 4.
