Given :

83,73,76,72,75,85,79,76

Range = maximum value - minimum value

Range = 85 - 72

= 13

To find median we have to arrange the numbers in ascending order

72, 73, 75, 76, 76, 79, 83, 85

Now, number of terms = 8 

Here, number of terms is an even number. So, 

Median = [(n/2)th term + (n/2 + 1)th term]/2

= [(8/2)th + (8/2 + 1)th]/2

= [4th term + 5th term]/2

= [76 + 76]/2

= 152/2

= 76

 

Hence, Median of given numbers is 76
