Question

Which number should you remove to make the median equal 44? 36, 40, 42, 48, 52

Answer 1

The data is already in ascending order of magnitude.

36, 40, 42, 48, 52

If we remove 42, we will be left with;

36, 40, 48, 52

median = (40 + 48)/2

= 88/2

= 44.

So, the solution is: 42 need to be removed for the median to be 44
