Question

40,43,40,39,50,23 what is the median?

Answer 1

The median of this data set is 40. This is because when put in order from greatest to least the order is:
23, 39, 40, 40, 43, 50
So the middle number is 40.

Answer 2

Median is the middle number, but since there is 6 numbers.
Put them in order first
23,39,40,40,43,50
Well in middle is 40 for both sides
So to solve median for this you'd add the two middle numbers together since there is even set of numbers.
40+40 =80 then divide by 2
80÷2=40
Median = 40
