Answer: The median is: " 57.5 " .
___________________________________________________________
In a given date set of values organized sequentially, the median is the number in the middle—usually. However, when there are an even number of values, the median is the value obtained by taking the average (specifically, the "mean") of the 2 (TWO) numbers closest to the middle.
_________________________________________________________
In this case, our given data set is:
_________________________________________________________
"{36, 48, 67, 91}" .
_____________________________________________________
The 2 (TWO) values closest to the "middle" are: "48" and "67" ;
so, we add these 2 (TWO) numbers together; and we take that sum and divide that sum by "2" (since there are "2 (TWO)" values.
________________________________________________________
{48 + 67} / 2 = 115 / 2 = 57.5 .
