Answer 2

1. Put the numbers in order.

2. Cross off high/low pairs.

3. Add the leftover numbers.

4. Divide the sum by 2.

Explanation:

Given:

24, 16, 23, 30, 18, 29

The ordered steps involved in Calculating the median of the data set given :

1.) put the numbers in order: This involves arranging the numbers in the dataset usually in ascending order :

16, 18,23,24,29,30

2.) Cross off high/low pairs: take out equal amount of input from both the left and right hand side. Here we have (23, 34) left

3) Add the leftover numbers: Since the values left is more than one, both values are summed, we have (23+24) = 47

4.) Divide the sum by 2 : Get the average of the two numbers to obtain the median value. Here the average is (23+24)/2 = 47/2 = 23.5
