You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The $\"MEAN\"$ is the $\"arithmetic\"$ $\"+average\"$ , - just $\"add\"$ $\"+up\"$ the numbers and $\"divide\"$ by how
\n" ); document.write( "many there are:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28%28-10%29+%2B+%28-4%29+%2B+5+%2B+9+%2B+11+%2B+13%29+%2F+6+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "= $\"%28%28-14%29+%2B+14+%2B+11+%2B+13%29+%2F+6+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "= $\"%2811+%2B+13%29+%2F+6+\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "= $\"24+%2F+6+\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "= $\"4+\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The $\"MEDIAN\"$ is $\"the-+number-+in+%96the-+middle\"$ . In order to find the median, you have to $\"put-+the-+values-+in+%96order\"$ from $\"lowest\"$ to $\"highest\"$ , then find the number that is exactly in the middle:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-10\"$ $\"+-4\"$ $\"+5\"$ $\"++9\"$ $\"+11\"$ $\"+13\"$ ….your numbers are already in order from lowest to highest
\n" ); document.write( " ... $\"-10\"$ $\"-4\"$ $\"5\"$ ..... $\"++9+\"$ $\"+11+\"$ $\"+13\"$ ….
\n" ); document.write( " ............................|............................
\n" ); document.write( " since there is an even number of values, the $\"MEDIAN\"$ is
\n" ); document.write( " between $\"5\"$ and $\"9\"$ , or it is $\"%285%2B9%29%2F2=7\"$ . \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The reason $\"7\"$ is the median is because the median falls halfway between the numbers $\"5\"$ and $\"9\"$ .\r
\n" ); document.write( "
