To find the median of the numbers 40, 50, 30, 25, 20, and 60, follow these steps:
-
Arrange the numbers in ascending order: 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60
-
Determine the number of values: There are 6 values in this list.
-
Find the median: Since there is an even number of values, the median will be the average of the two middle numbers (the 3rd and 4th values in the sorted list).
The two middle numbers are:
- 30 (3rd value)
- 40 (4th value)
To find the median: \[ \text{Median} = \frac{30 + 40}{2} = \frac{70}{2} = 35 \]
Therefore, the median of the numbers is 35.
