Given the statement:

Justin did pushups every weekday this week. He did 8 pushups on Monday, 14 push-ups on Tuesday, 18 push ups on Wenesday, 6 pushups on Thursday and 8 on friday.

Find the median number of pushups.

Solution:

In order to find the median number of pushups, we simply need to list the number of pushups per day from least to greatest.

= 6, 8, 8, 14, 18

Median simply refers to the middle value of the given set, in our case, we can easily determine the median, since we have an odd number of values.

Median = 8

Final answer:

Median = 8
