find the median 44,68,48,61,59,48,63,49
Arrange the numbers in order.
44, 48, 48, 49, 59, 61, 63, 68
The median is the middle number. Since this set has an even number, the median is the average of 49 and 59.
108
To find the median of a set of numbers, you need to first arrange the numbers in ascending order. Then, you can determine the median depending on whether you have an odd or even number of values.
Let's arrange the given numbers in ascending order: 44, 48, 48, 49, 59, 61, 63, 68.
Since we have 8 numbers, which is an even number, the median is the average of the two middle numbers. In this case, the two middle numbers are 49 and 59. To find the average, add these two numbers and divide by 2:
(49 + 59) / 2 = 108 / 2 = 54.
Therefore, the median of the given set of numbers is 54.
