Median

To find the median of the given data set

42%2C%2019%2C%2046%2C%2017%2C%208%2C%2035%2C%2026%2C%2039%2C%2029

, follow these steps:

First, arrange the data in ascending order:
$8%2C%2017%2C%2019%2C%2026%2C%2029%2C%2035%2C%2039%2C%2042%2C%2046$
Count the number of data points. There are 9 numbers in this data set.
Since the number of data points (n) is odd, the median is the middle number in the sorted list. To find this, use the formula:
$%5Cfrac%7Bn%2B1%7D%7B2%7D$
In this case, $%5Cfrac%7B9%2B1%7D%7B2%7D%20%3D%205$ . Thus, the 5th number in the ordered list is the median.
Identify the median: The 5th number is 29 .

Therefore, the median of the data set is 29.
