To find the median of a set of numbers, you first need to arrange the numbers in ascending order. Then, you locate the middle number or calculate the average of the two middle numbers if the total count of numbers is even.
Arranging the given numbers in ascending order:
24, 36, 41, 52, 56, 61, 89
Since there are 7 numbers in the set, the middle number is the 4th number, which is 52.
Therefore, the median of the given set of numbers {52, 24, 41, 61, 89, 36, 56} is 52.
