The median of nine consecutive integers is 604. What is the greatest integer?
The median of nine consecutive integers is 604. What is the greatest integer?
The median of nine (an odd number) integers is the one in the middle when the numbers are arranged in ascending order; in this case, it is the fifth lowest. Since the nine integers are consecutive, the greatest integer is four more than the median, or

The median of consecutive integers in a set of data is
. What is the smallest integer in the set of data?
We know that the numbers should be arranged in ascending order to find the median. When the number of values is odd, the median is the single middle value. In this question we have
consecutive integers with the median of
. So the median is the
number in the rearranged data set. Since the
integers are consecutive, the smallest integer is five less than the median or it is equal to
.

Determine the median of the following set of numbers:
To determine the median of a set of numbers, you first need to order them from least to greatest:

Since there is an even amount of numbers, the median is determined by finding the average of the two numbers in the middle - 36 and 44.

Thus, the median is 40.

What is the median of the following set?

What is the median of the following set?
The first step towards solving for the set,
is to reorder the numbers from smallest to largest.
This gives us:

The median is equal to middle number in s a set. In since this set has 6 numbers, which is even, the average of the middle two numbers is the mean. The average can be found using the equation below:

Find the median.
To find the median of a data set, we will first arrange the numbers in ascending order. Then, we will locate the number in the center of the data set.
So, given the data set

we will arrange the numbers in ascending order. To do that, we will arrange them from smallest to largest. So, we get

Now, we will locate the number in the center of the data set.

We can see that it is 6.
Therefore, the median of the data set is 6.

The median is the number that is in the middle of an ordered list. Start by putting the numbers in ascending order:

Since we have an even number of test scores, the median will be the number that is in between the middle two numbers.
In this case, the median will have to be between 92 and 94.
The number that is exactly between these two numbers is
