Answer:

The median is 58

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

To calculate the median, you must put the series of numbers in chronological order (smallest to biggest), then find the number in the middle. If there are two numbers, add them up and divide by two.

<h2>For this question:</h2>

<u>Step one; put them in order</u>

56 65 62 53 68 58 65 52 56

52 53 56 56 58 62 65 65 68

<u>Step two; find the middle</u>

52 53 56 56 58 62 65 65 68

<u>The answer</u>

Because there is an impair number, there is a number in the middle.

<em>58 is the median retirement age.</em>
