FAQs

What is the median and how is it found on this worksheet?

The median is the middle number when the data are arranged in order. With an odd count, it is the exact middle entry after sorting.

Does each problem have an odd number of data points?

Yes. Each listed set contains an odd number of values, so there is a single middle median value.

Are fractions and decimals included in the data sets?

Yes. Several problems use decimal numbers and fractional forms, and the worksheet expects them to be ordered to identify the median.
