Explanation:

Monthly Sales Goals (in thousands)

Stem Leaf

1 8 9

2 5 6 6 8

3 2 3 3 6 9

4 0

Data (Salary in thousands) : 18,19,25,26,26,28,32,33,33,36,39,40

n = 12(even)

`Median = \frac{(n)/(2) \text{th term}+((n)/(2)+1) \text{th term}}{2}`

`Median = \frac{(12)/(2) \text{th term}+((12)/(2)+1) \text{th term}}{2}\\Median = \frac{6 \text{th term}+7 \text{th term}}{2}\\Median = (28+32)/(2)\\Median = 30`
