Answer 2

The median of this set of data is 30.5 .

Explanation:

The chart below shows how many messages he sent each day

Monday 20

Tuesday 25

Wednesday 36

Thursday 29

Now we are supposed to find the median

n = 4 (even)

`Median = ((n)/(2)th +((n)/(2) +1)th)/(2)`

`Median = ((4)/(2)th +((4)/(2) +1)th)/(2)`

`Median = (2nd +3rd)/(2)`

`Median = (25+36)/(2)`

`Median = 30.5`

Hence The median of this set of data is 30.5 .
