Question

Find the median of the following set of numbers.{38, 19, 27, 32, 42}

Answer 1

To find the median of a set of numbers, arrange the numbers from smallest to greatest, then pick up the middle number. It is the median

The given numbers are:

38, 19, 27, 32, 42

Arrange them first from smallest to greatest

19, 27, 32, 38, 42

Since 32 is standing in the middle (2 numbers before it and 2 numbers after it)

Then the median is 32
