Given data set: 88,123,47,45,66,190,157,91.

Arrange given data set into ascending order: 45,47,66,88,91,123,157,190.

Step 2

Median:

Median is nothing but a middle value of the data set.

If size of the set, n=even

Than median is average of middle two numbers.

If n=odd,

Than median id exact middle value of the data set.

Here,

n=8 (even), so median is average of middle two values.
