Find the median for the data set: 27, 84, 134, 61, 40, 27, 194, 23, 49, and 61.

55

Step-by-step explanation:

The median of a data set is the number in the middle. Arrange the numbers in order for least to greatest. Then, find the number in the middle.

Arrange the numbers in order from least to greatest.

27, 84, 134, 61, 40, 27, 194, 23, 49, 61 - >

23,27,27, 40, 49, 61, 61, 84, 134, 194

Then, find the number in the middle. Cross one number off each side until you reach the middle.

23,27,27, 40, 49, 61, 61, 84, 134, 194

27,27,40,49,61,61,84,134

27,40,49,61,61,84

40,49,61,61

49, 61

There are 2 numbers in the middle, so we must find the average of the 2 numbers.

To do this, add the numbers, then divide by 2.

49+61=110

110/2=55

The median is 55.

55

Step-by-step explanation:

Put them in order first:

23, 27, 27, 40, 49, 61, 61, 81, 134, 194

49 and 61 are in the middle.

49 + 61 = 110

110 : 2 = 55
