Question

Find the median of the data: 37, 46, 32, 40, 33, 40, 36, 30.
A. 32
B. 36.5
C. 37
D. 40

Answer 1

Median is the number that is in the "middle" so we arrange everything in order of lowest to greatest.

30, 32, 33, 36, 37, 40, 40, 46

In this case, the center number(s) are 36 and 37 so you average them, for 36.5 or B.
