Question

How do you find the median with an odd number of values?

Answer 1

Answer: take the middle two numbers and divide them

Step-by-step explanation: when you line them up orderly from lowest to highest you need to cross out the numbers until you reach the final 2 or 1. If you have one number left that number is the answer. If you are left with 2 numbers you add them together and divide them by 2 and you will get your answer.

Answer 2

add middle numbers and divide by two.

Explanation:

When you need to find the median with an odd set of numbers, you arrange the numbers in order from least to greatest and find the number in the middle of the set:

1 2 3

median is 2.

But, when you have an even set of numbers, you take the two middle numbers, add them together, then divide them by two (it's like finding the mean of those two middle numbers):

1 2 3 4

2 3

2+3=5

5÷2=2.5

median is 2.5
