Median Worksheets
What is the Median?
The median is the midpoint (or middle value) of a set of numbers.
It is found by ordering the set of numbers and then finding the middle value in the set.
How to find the median
Step 1) Order the numbers in the set from smallest to largest.
Step 2) Find the middle number.
- If there is an odd number of values in the set, then the median is the middle value.
- If there is an even number of values in the set, then the median is the average of the two middle values.
Examples
Example 1) Find the median of 5, 7, 8, 2 and 4
Step 1) Put the numbers in order: 2, 4, 5, 7, 8
Step 2) There is an odd number of values in the set so the median is the middle value which is 5.
Answer: the median is 5.
Example 2) Find the median of 23, 27, 16, 31
Step 1) Put the numbers in order: 16, 23, 27, 31
Step 2) There is an even number of values in the set, so the median is the average of the middle two values.
(23+27) ÷ 2 = 25
Answer: the mean is 25
Example 3) Find the median of 7, -4, 9, -7, -2, 5
Step 1) Order the numbers: -7, -4, -2, 5, 7, 9
Step 2) There is an even number of values in the set, so the median is the average of the middle two values.
To get the average, simply add the two values together and divide by 2:
(-2 + 5) ÷ 2 = 1.5
Answer: the mean is 1.5
