Math Problem Statement
Solution
To find the median of the list of numbers shown, let's proceed with the following steps:
-
List the numbers in ascending order: The numbers given are:
-
Sort these numbers: Arranging them in ascending order, we get:
-
Determine the median: Since there are 13 numbers (an odd count), the median is the middle number. This will be the 7th number in the ordered list.
The 7th number is 72.
Answer: The median is 72.
Would you like further explanation on the calculation, or do you have other questions?
Here are some related questions for practice:
- What is the mode of this list of numbers?
- How would you calculate the mean (average) of this list?
- What if the list had an even number of items? How would that affect finding the median?
- How does the median change if a number, like 100, is added to this list?
- What is the range of the list, and how is it calculated?
Tip: When finding the median, always ensure the numbers are sorted first. For an odd count, select the middle; for an even count, average the two middle numbers.
