Question

Find the median of the following data (1-8)

15, 6, 16, 8, 22, 21, 9, 18, 25

Answer 1

Given numbers are 15, 6, 16, 8, 22, 21, 9, 18, 25
Arrange in increasing order
6, 8, 9, 15, 16, 18, 21, 22, 25
n = 9 (odd)

∴ Median = `((n+1)/2)^(th) value = ((9+1)/2)^(th) value`

              = `5^(th) value`

              =  16
