The Median is the “center” of an ordered list of numbers.
How to Calculate Median Value
To calculate the median, put the numbers in value order and determine the middle.
Example: find the Median of 11, 2 and 8
Solution
place all the numbers in order:
2, 8, 11
The middle value is 8, so the median is 8.
Example: How do you find the median given below 4, 13, 6, 5, 21, 24, 31, 27, 50, 28, 112, 16, 56, 20, 29?
Solution:
After placing all digits in order we get:
4, 5, 6, 13, 16, 20, 21, 24, 27, 28, 29, 31, 50, 56, 112
There is 15 number. Our middle number is the 8th number
The middle is 24, so the median is 24.
