Question

What is the median of these numbers below? 6,8,9,5,6

Answer 1

You must first put the numbers from least to greatest.

5, 6, 6, 8, 9

Notice how the bolder six is in the middle, therefor, the median.

Answer 2

The median is the middle of a list of numbers from least to greatest.
I will set up the numbers from least to greatest for you.
5, 6, 6, 8, 9.
To determine the median, cross out the smallest number with the largest number until you can no longer do so.
5, 6, 6, 8, 9.
6, 6, 8.
6.
Your median is 6.
I hope this helps!
