The median is a halfway point in the set of data.

List the numbers in order from smallest to largest:

111, 129, 144, 149, 152, 162, 166, 171

Because there are an even number of values in the data set, find the two middle numbers, add them together and then divide by 2:

Median = ( 149 + 152 ) /2

Median = 150.5
