48 46 52 57 58 52 61 56
The first step to find the median is the put the number set in numerical order from least to greatest.
46 48 52 52 56 57 58 61
Now that the numbers are ordered, you just find the middle number. If you are two middle numbers, find their mean and that is the median.
46 48 52 52 56 57 58 61
The two middle numbers are 52 and 56.
Because there are two, you must find their mean in order to find the median.
To find the mean of 52 and 56, add them together and then divide by 2, since the amount of numbers is 2.
(52 + 56) / 2
52 + 56 = 108
108 / 2 = 54
The median of this data set is 54.
Hope this helps!
