Q. The following data points represent the number of pumpkins at each pumpkin patch in Witchton, Kansas.

\newline

52,24,41,61,89,36,56

\newline

Find the median number of pumpkins.

\newline

pumpkins

Arrange Data Points: To find the median, we first need to arrange the data points in ascending order. The data points given are $52$ , $24$ , $41$ , $61$ , $89$ , $36$ , $56$ . Let's arrange them from smallest to largest. $\newline$ Calculation: $24$ , $36$ , $41$ , $52$ , $56$ , $61$ , $89$
Find Middle Number: Now that the data points are in order, we need to find the middle number. Since there are $7$ data points, the median will be the $4$ th number, as it is the one that has an equal number of data points on either side. $\newline$ Calculation: The $4$ th number in the ordered list is $52$ .
Calculate Median: The median number of pumpkins is the $4^{\text{th}}$ number in our ordered list, which we have determined to be $52$ .
