Answer: 64

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the median of a number, we have to arrange the numbers that are given in either ascending or descending order.

In this case there are 4 numbers, let the fourth number be x, therefore the numbers will be:

60, 62, x and 92.

Since they are four numbers, the median will be the addition of the 2nd and 3rd number and then divided by 2. This will be:

(62 + x) / 2 = 63

62 + x = 126

x = 126 - 62

x = 64

The missing number is 64
