To find the median of a data set, you first need to arrange the data in ascending order and then identify the middle value. If you have an odd number of values, the median is the middle one. If you have an even number of values, the median is the average of the two middle values.
### Steps:
1. Identify and remove the outlier: Determine which value is the outlier (usually the one that is significantly higher or lower than the others).
2. Arrange the remaining numbers in order: For the data set without the outlier, list out all values in increasing order.
3. Find the median of the data set without the outlier:
– If the count of numbers is odd, the median is the middle number.
– If it is even, average the two middle numbers.
4. Include the outlier and find the median again: Repeat the process for the full data set, including the outlier.
Once you can share your data set, I can help you find both medians accurately!
