Answer:
74.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The median is the middle number of a data set.
However, when the total amount of numbers in the data set add up to an even number, such as this one adding up to 8, we take the middle number, or 4, and the number above it, or 5. 72 and 77 are numbers 4 and 5 when the data set is in numerical order, so now we add 72 and 77, and get 149.
Finally, we divide 149/2 because there are 2 numbers contributing to the median total. The answer to 149/2 is 74.5.
