Answer 1

24

Step-by-step explanation

The median of a data set is the middle number of the set - when they are arranged from least to greatest. If the amount of numbers in the data set is even, the median is the average of the two middle numbers.

In this case, there are 7 charts. To find the middle number we have to arrage the set from least to greatest: 13, 17, 22, 24, 35, 38, 43

The middle number is 24. This is the median.
