    How can Mrs. Lee figure out what the median score on the test is?
    ::李太太怎么知道测试的中位分数是多少?

    In this concept, you will learn how to calculate median.
    ::在这个概念中,你会学会如何计算中位数。

    Calculating Median
    ::计算中位数

    Data is a set of numerical or non-numerical information. Data can be analyzed in many different ways. In this concept you will analyze numerical data using the median.
    ::数据是一组数字信息或非数字信息。数据可以多种不同方式分析。在这个概念中,您将使用中位数分析数字数据。

    Median is a numerical value that represents the middle term in a data set . When ordered sequentially, the value that is in the middle is the median. 
    ::中间值是一个数字值,代表数据集中的中期值。如果按顺序排列,中间值为中值。

    To calculate the median, first order the numbers from smallest to largest. Then, find the number that is in the middle. This number is the median.
    ::要计算中位数, 请先将数字从最小到最大排序。 然后, 找到中间的数字。 此数字是中位数 。

    Let's look at an example.
    ::让我们举个例子。

    Find the median for the set of data: 47, 56, 51, 45, and 41.
    ::查找数据集的中位数:47、56、51、45和41。

    First, arrange the numbers from smallest to largest.
    ::首先,安排从最小到最大的数字。

    41, 45, 47, 51, 56

    Next, find the middle number. There are five numbers in this set, so the middle number is the third term, 47. 
    ::接下来,找到中间数字。这组有五个数字, 所以中间数字是第三个,47。

    The answer is the median is 47.
    ::答案是中位数是47

    Earlier, you were given a problem about Mrs. Lee and her students' test scores.
    ::之前,你得到一个问题 李太太和她的 学生考试成绩。

    Mrs. Lee has given her students a math test and wants to calculate the median score. She has organized her student's data into the following table.
    ::李夫人给学生做了数学测试,想计算中位分数。她将学生的数据整理成下表。

    First, organize the data from smallest to largest.
    ::首先,组织从最小到最大的数据。

    59, 68, 72, 73, 76, 77, 81, 83, 87, 89, 91, 91

    Next, find the middle term.
    ::下一个,找到中期。

    There are 12 numbers in this set so the middle number is between the sixth and seventh term, 77 and 81. To find the term that is between 77 and 81, add the numbers together and divide by 2.
    ::这一组有12个数字,所以中间数字在第六学期和第七学期之间,77学期和81学期之间。 要找到77学期和81学期之间,将数字加在一起,除以2。

      77 + 81 = 158

      158 ÷ 2 = 79  

    The answer is the median math test score of Mrs. Lee's class is 79%.
    ::答案是李太太班级的中位数学测试分数是79%。

    Example 2
    ::例2

    The chart below shows the daily temperature in San Diego for the first seven days in August. Calculate the median temperature.
    ::以下图表显示了圣地亚哥8月份头七天的每日温度。计算中位温度。

    San Diego Temperatures in August
    Date: Temperature:
    Sunday 8/1 88 F
    Monday 8/2 83 F
    Tuesday 8/3 87 F
    Wednesday 8/4 89 F
    Thursday 8/5 82 F
    Friday 8/6 79 F
    Saturday 8/7 87 F

    First, arrange the temperatures from smallest to greatest.

    ::首先,从最小到最大的温度

    79, 82, 83, 87, 87, 88, 89

    Next, find the middle number. There are seven numbers in this set, so the middle number is the fourth term, 87. 
    ::接下来,请找到中间数字。 这个组里有七个数字, 所以中间数字是第四学期, 87。

    The answer is the median is  87 o F.
    ::答案是中位数是87oF。

    Example 3
    ::例3

    Find the median of the following data set.
    ::查找以下数据集的中位数。

    12 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 18 , 20

    First, arrange the numbers in order. In this case, they are already ordered from smallest to largest.
    ::首先,按顺序排列数字。在这种情况下,它们已经从最小点到最大点。

    Next, find the middle term. There are six numbers in the set, so the middle number is between the third and fourth terms, 15 and 16. To find the term that is between 15 and 16, we add the numbers together and divide by 2.
    ::找到中期。 集中共有六个数字, 所以中间数字在第三和第四, 15和16之间, 为了找到15和16之间的术语, 我们将数字加在一起, 并除以2。

      15 + 16 = 31

      31 ÷ 2 = 15.5

    The answer is the median is 15.5.
    ::答案是中位数是15.5

    ::首先,将数字从最小到最大顺序排列。

    56, 67, 69, 78, 83, 84, 88, 90, 90

    Next, find the middle number. There are nine numbers in this set, so the middle number is the fifth term, 83. 
    ::接下来,找到中间数字。这组有九个数字, 所以中间数字是第五,83。

    The answer is the median is 83.
    ::答案是中位数是83
