To find the median of a set of numbers, do these steps

1. arrange the numbers from smallest to greatest

2. Find the number that stands in the middle, it is the median

The given numbers are 37, 20, 26, 30, 48

1. Arrange them from smallest to greatest

20, 26, 30, 37, 48

2. find the middle number

It is 30 because there are 2 numbers before it and 2 numbers after it

Then the median is 30
