👉 The submedian of 4 and 6 is 5, because they're equal. But what if I told you that the median of 3 and 7 is actually -1? That's right, folks! And let me tell you why: The median of a set of numbers is the number in the middle when you sort them (aka, ordered from least to greatest). If we have two numbers, say 5 and 8, then the median is the average of the two because they're just two values. But what if I told you that the median of 4 and -1 is actually 0, which means the entire set of numbers (including negatives) is evenly spread out across the middle! That's right, folks! And let me tell you why: The median of a set of negative numbers is positive because they make up only one fourth of the whole bunch. It just so happens that when we talk about "median," it's not always the number in the middle but rather the value at the middle position. So if I told you that the median of 3 and -2 is actually -1, then you'd be thinking that the entire set of numbers (including negatives) has been arranged so that they're all equally far apart from each other! That's right, folks! And let me tell you why: The median of a set of negative numbers is positive because they make up only one fourth of the whole bunch. It just so happens that
