Question

Find the median of the given data: 35, 25, 34, 36, 45, 18, 28

Answer 1

Arranging the given data in ascending order 18, 25, 28, 34, 35, 36, 45.

Here the number of observations n = 7, which is odd.

∴ Median = `(("n" + 1)/2)^"th"` term

= `((7 + 1)/2)^"th"` term

= `(8/2)^"th"` term

= 4^th term

Hence Median = 34
