Answer 1

Median of the following numbers: 4, 4, 5, 7, 6, 7, 7, 12, 3 is 6.

Explanation:

First, we arrange the given numbers in ascending order is 3, 4, 4, 5, 6, 7, 7, 7 and 12.

Here, n = 9

Since, n is odd, so we use the formula for median.

Now, median = `((n + 1)/2)`th observation

= `((9 + 1)/2)`th observation  ...[Put n = 9]

= `(10/2)`th observation

= 5th observation

= 6

Hence, median of the given number is 6.
