First put the numbers in order to find the median:
26, 27, 28, 32, 32, 33, 35, 36, 38, 40, 42, 48
The number in the middle will be the median. In this case, there is an even number of data points so we will have to average the two numbers in the middle:
33 + 35 = 68...68/2 = 34. Therefore the median is 34
Now to get the inequality, add and subtract 6 from 34:
34 + 6 = 40
34 - 6 = 28
So the inequality is:
28 < x < 40
