Step 1
Given;
[tex]42,32,30,32,44,36,45,43[/tex]Required; To find the median
Step 2
Arrange the data from smallest to largest
[tex]30,32,32,36,42,43,44,45[/tex]The median is the middle value in a list ordered from smallest to largest.
The number of data is even and the median is gotten with the formula
[tex]\begin{gathered} median=\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}=\frac{}{} \\ x_{1\text{ }}and\text{ x}_2\text{ are the 2 middle numbers} \\ x_1=36 \\ x_2=42 \\ Median=\frac{36+42}{2}=\frac{78}{2}=39 \end{gathered}[/tex]Answer; Median=39
