Question

What is the median of 33,35,25,43,43?

Answer 1

The median would be 35

Explanation:

If you arrange the numbers to: 25, 33, 35, 43, 43
The median means the middle number of the sequence, so it would end up being 35, as it's in the center.

Answer 2

`35`

Explanation:

We are given:

`33, 35, 25, 43, 43`

First, we sort the numbers:

`25, 33, 35, 43, 43`

Next, we eliminate the highest and lowest terms and continue until there is only 1 or 2 terms remaining. Since we have an odd number of values, we should only have 1 remaining.

`cancel 25, 33, 35, 43, cancel 43`

`cancel 25, cancel 33, 35, cancel 43, cancel 43`

Therefore, the median is `35`.
