Question

The age of the volunteers at a local food bank are 34, 25, 24, 50, 18, 46, 43, 36, 32. What is the median for the data set?

Answer 1

It is 34

First you have to order all of the number from least to greatest:

18 24 25 32 34 36 43 46 50

Then you cross out a number from each side, until you are left with the last number, which is the median. In this case your answer is 34.
