Q. What is the median?

\newline

-9, -9, -6, -7, -2

\newline

_____

Calculate Middle Number: Now that we have the numbers in order, we need to find the middle number, since the median is the middle value in a list of numbers. $\newline$ There are $5$ numbers in the list, which is an odd number, so the median will be the number in the middle position. $\newline$ To find the middle number, we use the formula: $(\text{number of values} + 1) / 2$ $\newline$ For our list, $(5 + 1) / 2 = 6 / 2 = 3$ $\newline$ So, the median is the $3$ rd number in the ordered list.
Determine Median: We look at the ordered list and find the $3^{\text{rd}}$ number: $-9$ , $-9$ , $-7$ , $-6$ , $-2$ The $3^{\text{rd}}$ number is $-7$ . Therefore, the median of the given set of numbers is $-7$ .
