Question

Find the median of the given data: 36, 44, 86, 31, 37, 44, 86, 35, 60, 51

Answer 1

Arrange the values in ascending order we get

31, 35, 36, 37, 44, 44, 51, 60, 86, 86

The number of values = 10 which is even

Median = Average of `(10/2)^"th"` and `(10/2 + 1)^"th"` value

= Average of 5^th and 6^th value

= `(44 + 44)/2`

= `88/2`

= 44

∴ Median = 44
