Mean, median, mode, and range, step by step
Four questions live in one row of numbers.
The question
Median of 17, 41, 22, 17, 18
given:1741221718
given:1741221718
sorted:1717182241
given:1741221718
sorted:1717182241
- The median is the one in the MIDDLE. Middle of the sorted row, though — not the row as it was given.
- So put them in order, smallest first.
- Count in from both ends. 18 is the one left in the middle, so that is the median.
How it works.
