what is the median of 82, 83, 85, 85

Dbg you hae found the mean.

Median = middle

82 , 83 , 85 , 85

The median is in between 85 and 83

If we have two numbers in median we add them together then divide by two too find the centre.

$${\mathtt{83}}{\mathtt{\,\small\textbf+\,}}{\mathtt{85}} = {\mathtt{168}}$$

$${\frac{{\mathtt{168}}}{{\mathtt{2}}}} = {\mathtt{84}}$$

84 is your median.

$${\mathtt{82}}{\mathtt{\,\small\textbf+\,}}{\mathtt{83}}{\mathtt{\,\small\textbf+\,}}{\mathtt{85}}{\mathtt{\,\small\textbf+\,}}{\mathtt{85}} = {\mathtt{335}}$$

$${\frac{{\mathtt{335}}}{{\mathtt{4}}}} = {\mathtt{83.75}}$$

Am I right, my friend?

No Dbg, you have found the mean(average) not the median.

The median is the MIDDLE score, or the average of the 2 middle scores if there in not just a single one.

Before you 'pull out' the middle score, you have to put them in order from smallest to largest.

That was already done for this set of scores :)
