To find the median, we need to put the measurements in order from least to greatest. It is helpful to first eliminate the outliers: 29,006 and 44,409. Once removed, we have:

122, 194, 213, 244, 283, 322, 343, 364, 488, 623, 628, 733, 763, 804, 846, 853, 959

Next, we need to find the middle value(s). Since there are an odd number of measurements in this set, there will be only one middle value:

Median = 364
