Answer:

To find the median number of points for each team, we need to arrange the points in order from lowest to highest and then find the middle value. If there is an even number of points, we take the average of the two middle values.

For Team A, the points scored are: 92, 94, 96, 98, 100, 102, 104, 106

Arranging them in order from lowest to highest: 92, 94, 96, 98, 100, 102, 104, 106

The median is the middle value which is 100.

Therefore, the median number of points for Team A is 100.

For Team B, the points scored are: 92, 94, 96, 98, 100, 102, 104, 106

Arranging them in order from lowest to highest: 92, 94, 96, 98, 100, 102, 104, 106

The median is also the middle value which is also 100.

Therefore, the median number of points for Team B is also 100.
