Median of Grouped Data
• Median
is the midpoint or middle position once the
data is organized.
Data values is ODD.
Steps:
1. Arrange the numbers from least to greatest.
2. The median will be found in the thposition

MEDIAN
• Median
is the midpoint or middle position once the
data is organized.
Data values is EVEN.
Steps:
1. Arrange the numbers from least to greatest.
2. The median will be the mean of the numbers found
before and after the thposition.
Where:
