Math Problem Statement

Find the median of the following numbers: 22, 35, 40, 27, 27, 29, 24, 32, 26

Solution

The image contains a set of numbers for which you are asked to find the median:

22, 35, 40, 27, 27, 29, 24, 32, 26

To find the median, we need to first sort the numbers in ascending order:

22, 24, 26, 27, 27, 29, 32, 35, 40

Now, the list has 9 numbers. The median is the middle number, which is the 5th number in the sorted list:

The median is 27.

Let me know if you'd like further details or explanations.

Here are a few questions to consider:

  1. How do we find the median in a list with an even number of elements?
  2. What is the importance of finding the median in a data set?
  3. Can the median always be found in a sorted list of numbers?
  4. How does the median differ from the mean in a data set?
  5. How would you calculate the median for grouped data?

Tip: Remember, if the list has an even number of numbers, the median is the average of the two middle values.
