Question

Find the median of the following data (1-8)

92, 35, 67, 85, 72, 81, 56, 51, 42, 69

Answer 1

Given number are
92, 35, 67, 85, 72, 81, 56, 51, 42, 69
Arranging in increasing order
35, 42, 51, 56, 67, 69, 72, 81, 85, 92
 n = 10 (even)

       ∴ Median = `(n^(th)/2 value +(n/2 + 1)^(th) value)/2`

                     = `(5^(th) value + 6^(th)value)/2`

                     = `(67 + 69 )/2 = 68.`
