A. B. C. D. E.E
Ordering the numbers we have 24,26,27,29,30,31,32,32. Since there is an even number of observations (8), the median is the average of the two middle observations (29 + 30)/2 = 29.5.
To find the median, we need to arrange the numbers in ascending order and then identify the middle value. In this case, the given numbers are 26, 30, 24, 32, 32, 31, 27, and 29.
Arranging the numbers in ascending order:
24, 26, 27, 29, 30, 31, 32, 32
Since we have eight numbers, the middle value will be the fourth number in this ordered list.
The fourth number is 29.
Therefore, the median of the given numbers is 29.
So, the correct answer is option D: 29.
