Find the median of the following set of numbers:
Find the median of the following set of numbers:
Tap to reveal answer
The median of a set of numbers is the number that is in the middle of the set when the numbers are written in increasing order (from smallest to largest).
When a list of numbers includes an even quantity, like the list in this question, you need to find the mean (average) of the two numbers in the middle.
The steps to find the median of this number set are below:
1. Rewrite the list of numbers so that the numbers are written in increasing order
2. Identify the number(s) in the middle of the set
3. Since there are two numbers in the middle of the set, find the average of the two numbers

To find the median, first reorder the prices in ascending order:
$2, $3, $4, $5, $6, $7, $8, $10, $10
The median is the middle number in a data set.
Here, the middle number in this set of nine prices is the 5th number, which is $6.
$2, $3, $4, $5, $6, $7, $8, $10, $10

The median is the middlenumber in a data set.
To find the median, rearrange the numbers in ascending order and find the middle number:
Given: 10, 21, 7, 8, 19, 20, 8, 15, 17, 13.
In order: 7, 8, 8, 10, 13, 15, 17, 19, 20, 21.
Since the data set has 10 numbers, which is even, the median is the average of the two middle numbers. The two numbers in the middle of this data set are 13 and 15. Their average, or the number in between them, is 14.
Therefore the median age is 14.
