Arrange Data in Ascending Order: Arrange the original data set in ascending order.Original set: 24,37,47,59,64,97
Calculate Original Set Median: Calculate the median of the original set.Since there are 6 numbers, the median is the average of the 3rd and 4th numbers: (47+59)/2=53
Replace Number with 87: Replace 64 with 87 in the set and arrange it in ascending order.New set: 24,37,47,59,87,97
Calculate New Set Median: Calculate the median of the new set.The median of the new set is also the average of the 3rd and 4th numbers: (47+59)/2=53
