A team logged these weekly sales totals: 42, 38, 55, 47, 60, 33. What is the median of the data set?

Correct answer to question 206 (Arithmetic Reasoning): 44.5

Method

First arrange the values in order: 33, 38, 42, 47, 55, 60. With six values there is no single middle one, so average the third and fourth, 42 and 47, to get 44.5.
