Answer:
32
Step-by-step explanation:
the median in a data set is the middle number. first, you are going to want to order the numbers in numerical order.
this is what it would look like.
16, 21, 28, 30, 34, 45, 58, 60
(basically how it is in the problem lol)
since there's an even number of numbers in the set, you have to take the mean of the two middle numbers. in this case, the two middle numbers are 30 and 34.
you take the mean of numbers by adding them, and then dividing them based on the number of numbers. (sorry if that doesn't make sense, just look down ehe)
(30+34)/2
we divide by two because there are two numbers.
(30+34)/2
(64)/2
32
if this didn't make sense - sorry - but you can watch this video: https://www.khanacademy.org/math/cc-sixth-grade-math/cc-6th-data-statistics/mean-and-median/v/mean-median-and-mode
it's a short 3 minute video :))
hope this helped!!
