Which lists the steps in the correct order to find the median of this data set? 24, 16, 23, 30, 18, 29

First put the numbers in order: 16, 18, 23, 24, 29, 30. Since there are six numbers, cross off the high/low pairs until the two middle numbers, 23 and 24, are left. Add them and divide by 2: (23 + 24) ÷ 2 = 23.5. So the correct sequence is to order the numbers, cross off pairs, add the leftovers, and divide by 2.
