Given the data set:

90, 72, 150, 43, 84, 91, 65, 48?

Find the median.

Solution:

In order to find the median of the given data set, we simply need to write first  the data set from least to greatest.

= 43, 48, 65, 72, 84, 90, 91, 150

Since we have an even number of values, we need to add the two middle values of the set, then divide it by 2. In this case we'll add 72 and 84, then divide by 2.

= 72 + 84

= 156

= 156/2

= 78

Final answer:

Median  = 78
