Step-by-step explanation:
To find the median of a set of numbers, you arrange them in ascending order and then find the middle value. Let's sort the numbers first:
141, 154, 159, 159, 167, 168, 169, 169, 169, 172, 173, 175
Now, since there are 12 numbers, the median will be the average of the 6th and 7th numbers in the sorted list:
Median = (167 + 168) / 2
Median = 335 / 2
Median = 167.5
So, the median of the given numbers is 167.5.
To find the median you must put all of your numbers in order and then pick the middle number from the list of numbers after they’re in order. In this case all the numbers are already in order, so count home many numbers you have. In this case you have 12 numbers and you do not have a number that lands perfectly in the middle. In this case it numbers 6 (168) and 7 (169) that land in the middle. Since you cannot just randomly decide which one to use, you must take the average
of the two.
To do this add the two numbers together and divide by how many numbers are being used to find the median :
(168 + 169)/2 (numbers being used to find the median) =
337/2 = 168.5
The median is 168.5
of the two.
To do this add the two numbers together and divide by how many numbers are being used to find the median :
(168 + 169)/2 (numbers being used to find the median) =
337/2 = 168.5
The median is 168.5
