Example: Find the median of the following: 1, 2, 1, 5, 5 Step 1: Sort the list → 1, 1, 2, 5, 5 Step 2: Count of numbers listed → 5 (odd) Step 3: So the middle number is (count+1)/2 → (5+1)/2 → 3rd number. Therefore, the median is 2.
Example: Lucy had 1 blue, 3 green and 4 red pens. What type of a ratio is 3:4??
