Question

Find the median of the following data. 46, 24,87, 64, 39, 50, 37, 48

Answer 1

Answer:

47

Step-by-step explanation:

46, 24,87, 64, 39, 50, 37, 48

First put the numbers in order from smallest to largest

24,  37,  39,46, 48,50,64,87

Then we notice that there are 8 numbers.  The median is the middle

24,  37,  39,46     , 48,50,64,87

The middle is between 46 and 48

Take the average of these numbers

(46+48)/2 = 94/2 = 47

The median is 47

Answer 2

Answer:

49

Step-by-step explanation:

Fairly simple, line up the numbers in order from lowest to highest. Then find the middle two terms. Since we have 8 terms, we take the two in the center, 50 and 48 and add them together, then divide by two to get your median.
