You want to put them in order first from least to greatest.
Boys: 70,71,72,73,73,75,76,78
Girls: 66,66,65,68,68,70,72 for the girls the median is 68.
Median means middle.
For the boys it's a little more tricky because there are 2 middle numbers, 73 and 73. First you get the average of those and then divide it by 2.
73+73=146
146/2=73 so it would be 73 either way.
To find the difference of the medians do 73-68=5 in. (c)
