Question

Alma measured the heights (in inches) of 10 students in her class. The measurements she recorded are listed below. 57, 66, 58, 59, 66, 58, 63, 64, 60, 62 What is the median ?

Answer 1

The median is 61.

Explanation:

To find the median, you take the number that is numerically in the center of the data set. Since this set has two numbers like that (60 and 62), you find the mean of those two numbers. This leaves us with 61.
