42,57,24,26,52,44.14,35

First of all arrange the numbers in rank order

If an odd number of terms you select the absolute middle term.

However, in this case, it is an even number of terms, at 8 terms.

So select terms 4, & 5. , which are 35,42. and find the absolute mid-point of these two terms , which is 38.5. The answer!!!!!
