The median is 50.

Put the numbers in ascending numerical order: 40 45 48 52 61 65

For a set of numbers with an odd number of observations, the median would simply be the middle number.

Because this set of numbers has an even number of observations, we take the middle two observations (48 and 52) and find their average.

To find the average you add the observations and divide by the number of observations. In this case you would take 48 added to 52 and divide the sum of these numbers by 2. This gives you an answer of 50. (48 + 52 = 100 / 2 = 50)

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
