Question

Find the median: 

27, 32, 24, 26, 11, 14, 19

Answer 1

Given: 27, 32, 24, 26, 11, 14, 19

Step-wise calculation:

1. Arrange in ascending order: 11, 14, 19, 24, 26, 27, 32.

2. Count the number of observations: n = 7 (odd).

3. For odd n, median is the `((n + 1)/2)`th term = `(7 + 1)/2` = 4th term.

4. The 4th term in the ordered list is 24.

Median = 24.
