Question

What is the median of the data shown below?

Answer 1

Answer: 72

Step-by-step explanation: The median is the middle number in the data set when the data set is written from least to greatest.

Notice that our data set is already written from least to greatest so all we have to do now is find the number that appears in the middle.

Notice however that there are two numbers in the middle.

When this happens, take the sum of the two numbers in the middle or add them together and then divide the sum of the numbers by 2.

So if we add 71 + 73, we get 144.

Now just divide 144 by 2 to get 72.

So the median of the data set shown here is 72.

Answer 2

Answer:

72

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to add the two middle numbers then divide them by two.

Hope this helps.
