Question

How do you find the median of 33 35 31 30 17 4 18 1 11 19 39 6 14 20?

Answer 1

`18.5`

Explanation:

The median is the middle value. To find it we first need to write the numbers in order:

`1,4,6,11,14,17,18,19,20,30,31,33, 35,39`

We have 14 values which means there are 2 middle values - one from the smallest up and the other from the biggest down (14 values and so 7 up and 7 down):

`18, 19`

We take the simple average of these two values:

`(18+19)/2=18.5` and end up with the median.
