Answer 2

Answer:

62.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Median

Median is found by first arranging the all the data entries in ascending numerical order and then pick the one, that lies in the center of the arranged data series.

Considering the given data;

56, 42, 72, 58, 68, 49, 62, 74, 63, 70

Arranging them in ascending order;

42, 49, 56, 58, 62, 63, 68, 70, 72, 74

In this case, total entries are even so we select the two middle ones

62 and 63

Now take their average;

= (62 + 63) /2

62.5
