The age of the volunteers at a local food bank are 34, 25, 24, 50, 18, 46, 43, 36, 32. What is the median for the data set?

It is 34

First you have to order all of the number from least to greatest:

18 24 25 32 34 36 43 46 50

Then you cross out a number from each side, until you are left with the last number, which is the median. In this case your answer is 34.
