What is the median of the following numbers?: 13, 15, 26, 11, 26, 16, 12,

Answer 1

#15#

The median is the middle number--but be careful! You need to list the numbers in ascending order (from the smallest number to the biggest number) before you attempt to find the median.

#11,12,13,15,16,26,26#

Now that the numbers are listed in ascending order, look for the middle number.

There are three numbers to the left of #15#, and three to the right. Therefore, #15# is the median.
