Finding the Median from a Frequency Table

In this video, Mr. J explains how to find the median from a frequency table. He uses an example of bike ride distances to demonstrate the process. The steps include listing the values from least to greatest and then counting to find the middle value, which is the median. The video concludes with a summary of the method and its application.

What is the median in a data set?

• The middle value

• The most frequently occurring value

• The average value

• The smallest value
