Arranging the data in ascending order, we get
28, 35, 48, 49, 54, 62, 71
A new price of 58 is added to the set.
Hence, the new data set is

Arranging the data set, we get
28, 35, 48, 49, 54, 58, 62, 71
This data set contains an even number of data.
For a set with an even number of values, the median is the mean of the two middle values.
Median of the data =
49+542
=
1032 = 51. 5
Hence, the new median is 51.5
