Calculate the Median (Middle Value)
Since our number set contains 6 elements which is an even number, our median number is determined as follows:
Number Set = (n1,n2,n3,n4,n5,n6)
Median Number 1 = ½(n)
Median Number 1 = ½(6)
Median Number 1 = Number Set Entry 3
Median Number 2 = Median Number 1 + 1
Median Number 2 = Number Set Entry 3 + 1
Median Number 2 = Number Set Entry 4
For an even number set, we average the 2 median number entries:
Median = ½(n3 + n4)
Therefore, we sort our number set in ascending order and our median is the average of entry 3 and entry 4 of our number set highlighted in red:
(14,39,42,65,65,88)
Median = ½(42 + 65)
Median = ½(107)
Median = 53.5
