How to Find the Median
EXAMPLE
1, 3, 5, 8, 8, 13, 14, 30, 72, 80
To find the place in your data set which the median occupies, add one to the number of data items and divide by 2.
(10 + 1) / 2 = 5.5
Since there is no 5.5 place in line, the median is the average between the fifth and sixth data items.
(8 + 13) / 2 = 10.5
10.5 is the value of the median.
