I am asking how this is when I found the median is 14!

Hi there!

2  3  5  5  9  11  13  14  14  17  20  22  24  28

If we count up the numbers, we find that there are 14 numbers. This means that we must take the average of the middle two numbers to find a median since the amount of numbers is not odd.

Count 6 from both sides and we get the middle two numbers to be:

13  14  

Take the average:

(13 + 14)/2 = 13.5

**This must be done if the amount of numbers given is EVEN.**

Step-by-step explanation:

There are an even number of entries that make up the Data Set. (14 entries)

When you have an even number, you take the two entries that are at the center to find the median.

The values at the middle are entry seven which is 13 and entry eight, which is 14.

Now average these two. You get (13 + 14)/2 = 27 / 2 = 13.5

Otherwise I think you are correct.

for ex: the reciprocal of 3/4 is 4/3. it is the opposite.

reciprocal definition:

a mathematical expression or function so related to another that their product is one; the quantity obtained by dividing the number one by a given quantity.
