Question

for the following set of numbers, find the median. 43, 60, 56, 35, 40, 47
the median is. (type an integer or a decimal.)

Explanation:

Step1: Arrange numbers in ascending order

$35,40,43,47,56,60$

Step2: Determine the middle - value

Since there are 6 (an even number) values, the median is the average of the two middle numbers. The two middle numbers are the 3rd and 4th numbers.
Median=$\frac{43 + 47}{2}$

Step3: Calculate the median

$\frac{43+47}{2}=\frac{90}{2}=45$

Answer:

$45$
