To find the median of a data set, you first need to order the numbers from least to greatest.
25, 34, 40, 40, 53, 56, 60, 60, 60, 62, 75, 76
Since there are 12 numbers in the data set, the median will be the average of the 6th and 7th number in the ordered list.
Median = (56 + 60) / 2
Median = 58
Therefore, the median of the data set is 58.
