Johnathon Bennett · Answer 1

The median is 58

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the median, you must put the series of numbers in chronological order (smallest to biggest), then find the number in the middle. If there are two numbers, add them up and divide by two.

For this question:

Step one; put them in order

56 65 62 53 68 58 65 52 56

52 53 56 56 58 62 65 65 68

Step two; find the middle

52 53 56 56 58 62 65 65 68

58

The answer

Because there is an impair number, there is a number in the middle.

58 is the median retirement age.
