A researcher randomly purchases several different kits of a popular building toy. The following table shows the number of pieces in each kit in the sample. Find the median of the data.

To find the median of a data set, order it from least to greatest, as shown below,
[tex]39,39,98,103,154,164,202,259,259,344,344[/tex]Then, look for the two central values (data points 6 and 7, left to right); therefore, the median is
[tex]median=\frac{164+202}{2}=\frac{366}{2}=183[/tex]The median is 183
