Find the median of the list:
(57, 61, 62, 64, 65, 66, 68, 69, 70, 70, 71, 72, 73, 73, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 77, 78, 78, 79, 79, 80, 80, 80, 81, 82, 82, 83, 83, 83, 84, 86, 88)

The two elements in the middle of the list (57, 61, 62, 64, 65, 66, 68, 69, 70, 70, 71, 72, 73, 73, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 77, 78, 78, 79, 79, 80, 80, 80, 81, 82, 82, 83, 83, 83, 84, 86, 88) are 76 and 77:
(57, 61, 62, 64, 65, 66, 68, 69, 70, 70, 71, 72, 73, 73, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 77, 78, 78, 79, 79, 80, 80, 80, 81, 82, 82, 83, 83, 83, 84, 86, 88)

The median is the average of the two middle elements, 76 and 77. This average is:
Answer: | (76+77)/2  =  153/2=76.50
