Mode, median, mean and range

Median
The median is often reffered to as “the middle”, which is precisely what it is.

There is a common way to finding the middle value(s):

Step 1: Put the data point in order from smallest to largest.

Step 2: If the number of data points is odd, the median is the middle data point in the list.

If the number of data points is even, the median is the average of the two middle data points in

the list.

Example. Dani recorded the heights of members of her extended family, to the nearest cm. Find the
median of their height (listed below):

163, 185, 164, 170, 188, 154, 168, 179

Step 1. Arrange the numbers from smallest to largest: 154, 163, 164, 168, 170, 178, 185, 188

Step 2. There is an even number of data values in the set, the median is the mean of the two middle
values.

168 + 170
= 169
2

So the median = 169.
