To find the median, count the dots from left to right until you find the middle value.
Step-by-step explanation:
Ok so first it's not a dot line it's a dot plot. Second, let's define what a medium is. The medium is the "middle" of a sorted list of numbers. To find the Median, place the numbers in value order and find the middle number. Example: find the Median of {13, 23, 11, 16, 15, 10, 26}. The middle number is 15, so the median is 15. Tip to find the median from a list of value ordered numbers every time cross a number from each side. For example, if you cross 13 from above also cross 26 and if you cross 23 then also cross 10.
Back to your original question of how to find the medium on a dot plot you need to take all the numbers from your dotted line put them in order even if they are repeated and then cross each one on each side from right to left. Also remember if you cross out all the numbers right and left and end up with two numbers left then take them and add them and then divide by 2 and that will be the median.
