Question

Find the median of first 7 even natural numbers.

Answer 1

Given: First 7 even natural numbers: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14.

Step wise calculation: For an odd number n of observations, the median is the `((n + 1)/2)`th observation.

n = 7, so median position = `(7 + 1)/2` = 4th observation.

Arrange already in order: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 the 4th observation is 8.

Median = 8.
