Question

Find the median of :

Answer 1

Median = 28.

Explanation:

First arrange the list in ascending order:

2 9 15 16 21 24 28 32 34 35 37 39 40

The median is the middle number,

There are 13 numbers so the middle number is the 7th - that is 28.

Answer 2

Answer: 28.

Explanation:

The median of a data set is defined as the middle value of a data set.

For instance, the median of the data set [4, 7, 8] would be 7 because it is the "middle value".

You can find this by sorting the numbers by smallest to largest:

2, 9, 15, 16, 21, 24, 28, 32, 34, 35, 37, 39, 40

There are 13 numbers in the set, so you can exclude the first 6 and last 6 numbers from the set to get your median, 28.
