Answer: The median is 30.
1.) Line up each number in numerical order based on the data set.
- 27, 28, 28, 29, 29, 29, 30, 30, 30, 31, 31, 31, 33, 34.
2.) Cross out the numbers from inside out. (Find the middle number.)
- Because the data set has an even amount of numbers, you are left with 2 middle numbers. (30 & 30)
- In this case, you add the numbers together (30 + 30) and divide them by 2. (60/2)
- You end with the result of 30, therefore your answer (the median) is 30.
