given: the ages of the employee

to find: median of the ages.

Step-by-step explanation:

median: it is the number in group of ascending or descending numbers

so here first we will find the middle number

for that we are going to cancel one bigger and one smaller number one by one

for example in the given table the first number we have is 22 which is the smallest number and 65 which is the biggest number so we cancel that

now the next smaller and bigger numbers are 23 and 63 respectively that would get cancelled in the similar manner we move on so next we cancel 29 and 62

so after cancelling the numbers in similar manner the number with which we are left is 45

so that means that is the middle term or middle number of the table so that makes it a median

final answer: the median of the ages in this stem and leaf plot is 45.
