Question

Find the median:
17, 25, 35, 22, 31, 12, 17​

Answer 1

Answer is 22

use formula -N+1/2

Answer 2

22

Explanation:

The median of a data set is found by putting the data set in ascending numerical order and identifying the middle number. If there are an odd number of data values in the data set, the median is a single number. If there are an even number of data values in the data set, the median is the average of the two middle numbers. Sorting the data set for the values entered above we have:

`12, 17, 17, 22, 25, 31, 35`

Since there is an odd number of data values in this data set, there is only one middle number. With 7 data values, the middle number is the data value at position 4. Therefore, the median is 22.
