Question

How to find position of median?

Answer 1

If there are an even number on the list then average the n/2 and the (N + 2)/2 numbers. In general, the median is at position (n + 1)/2. If this position is a whole number then you have the median at that position in the list. If the number ends in 0.5 then you average the two numbers on the list on either side of it.

Answer 2

How to find the median:

• Arrange your numbers in numerical order.

• Count how many numbers you have.

• If you have an odd number, divide by 2 and round up to get the position of the median number.

• If you have an even number, divide by 2. Go to the number in that position and average it with the number in the next higher position to get the median.
