A company wants to track the number of units sold each day over a 5-day period. The data is: 30, 35, 28, 40, 25.

Question

What is the median number of units sold?

Answer 1

To find the median of the given data set (30, 35, 28, 40, 25), we first need to arrange the numbers in ascending order:

1. Rearranging the numbers: 25, 28, 30, 35, 40

Since there are 5 numbers (an odd number of entries), the median will be the middle number in the sorted list.

2. The middle number (3rd number in the sorted list) is 30.

Therefore, the median number of units sold is 30.
