Question

make sure you start new workings. find the median of these numbers: 15 24 16 22 13 28

Explanation:

Step1: Sort the numbers

Arrange the numbers in ascending order: $13, 15, 16, 22, 24, 28$.

Step2: Find the median

Since there are $n = 6$ (even number of terms), the median is the average of the $\frac{n}{2}$-th and $(\frac{n}{2}+1)$-th terms.
$\frac{n}{2}=\frac{6}{2} = 3$, $\frac{n}{2}+1=3 + 1=4$.
The 3rd term is $16$, the 4th term is $22$.
Median $=\frac{16 + 22}{2}=\frac{38}{2}=19$.

Answer:

$19$
