Answer:

47.5

Explanation:

Median - The middle number in a list of numbers starting from least to greatest.

Knowing this, we can start.

The first step is to rewrite all the numbers from least to greatest

15, 19, 28, 32, 43, 52, 66, 72, 72, 81

Now cross off a number from the least and greatest until there is 1 or 2 numbers left

19, 28, 32, 43, 52, 66, 72, 72

28, 32, 43, 52, 66, 72

32, 43, 52, 66

43, 52

If you are left we 1 number, that is your answer. If you are left with 2 numbers, there is an extra step

In the case that you have 2 numbers, you need to add them together, and divide by 2

43 + 52 = 95

95 ÷ 2 = 47.5

Thus 47.5 is our answer
