What is the median of this set of data?

B.27

C.27.5

D.29

I know how to find median but this one is kind of confusing.

Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday

20 25 36 29

I do not know why it got messed up

The median is half way between the middle two numbers.

25 & 29
Median = 27

Oh thank you Ms.Sue. but how did you get 27?

It is 27.5 Ms. sue please don’t lie to the students. It is very disrespectful to them.

Wait... never mind you just found the mean of the two numbers

27 is half way between 25 and 29

Thank you Ms. Liz

Ms. liz is correct, Ms. sue is not 27.5 because you add them up and then divide and you get 27.5

does anyone have the answer because i need this answer

Correction: Ms. sue is right and Ms. liz is wrong 27
