Problem
Find the median for the given sample data. The distances traveled (in miles) to 7 different swim meets are given below: \[ 15,29,39,47,70,75,85 \] Find the median distance traveled. 39 miles 70 miles 51 miles 47 miles
Solution
Step 1 ：\( \text{Sort the data in ascending order: }\{15, 29, 39, 47, 70, 75, 85\} \)
Step 2 ：\( \text{Since there are odd (7) numbers, the median is the middle value: }\)
Step 3 ：\( \text{Median} = 47 \text{ miles} \)
