Arrange the data in an ascending order, find the middle value. If two are present, take the average of them.

anonymous · Answer

First arrange the data in ascending order
29, 47, 48, 68, 80, 92
Now since you have even number of terms,

$$Median=\frac{ \frac{ n }{ 2 }^{th} term +(\frac{ n }{ 2 }^{th}+1)term }{ 2 }$$

anonymous · Answer

So 

Median = (6/2)th term + (6/2 + 1)th terms         3rd term + 4th term
                ---------------------------   = --------------------
                                      2                                               2

       48 + 68          116
= ----------   = ------- = 58
          2                    2
