what is the median of of the data set: 40, 38, 62, 70, 56, 41, 58, 48, 60, 45.

To find the median of this data set, we need to first arrange the numbers in order from smallest to largest:

38, 40, 41, 45, 48, 56, 58, 60, 62, 70

There are 10 numbers in this data set, which means that the median is the middle number. In this case, the middle numbers are 56 and 58. To find the median, we take the average of these two numbers:

(56 + 58)/2 = 57

Therefore, the median of the data set is 57.
