Q. What is the median of the numbers 39, 29, 45, 34, 39, 27, 26, 25, 38, 37, 290, 27
Arrange Data in Ascending Order: Arrange the data set in ascending order.The given data set is: 39,29,45,34,39,27,26,25,38,37,42,27.Arranged in ascending order: 25,26,27,27,29,34,37,38,39,39,42,45.
Count Data Points: Determine the number of data points in the set.There are 12 numbers in the data set.
Calculate Median Position: Calculate the position of the median. Since there is an even number of data points, the median will be the average of the 6th and 7th numbers.
Identify 6th and 7th Numbers: Identify the 6th and 7th numbers in the ordered data set.The 6th number is 34 and the 7th number is 37.
Calculate Median: Calculate the median of the data set.The median is the average of the 6th and 7th numbers: (34+37)/2=71/2=35.5
