What is the median of a set of numbers?

Back

The median is the middle value in a list of numbers sorted in ascending order. If there is an even number of observations, the median is the average of the two middle numbers.

How do you find the median of Roger's bowling scores: 155, 165, 138, 172, 127, 193, 142?

Back

First, sort the scores: 127, 138, 142, 155, 165, 172, 193. The median is the middle score, which is 155.
