Algebra.Com's Answer #82698 by jim_thompson5910(35256)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! First sort the numbers into ascending order (from least to greatest):\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "17,21,22,22,26,30,38,59,67,85\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "To find the median, count off about 5 spaces (just take half of the size of the list, which is 10) from the beginning of the list until you hit the middle. Now count count off about 5 spaces from the end of the list until you hit the middle.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "17, 21, 22, 22, \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since the middle is in between the numbers 26 and 30, add them up and divide that sum by 2.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the median is 28 \n" ); document.write( " |
