Question

Find the median of 80, 48, 66, 61, 75, 52, 45 and 70

Answer 1

Arranging in ascending order, we get

45, 48, 52, 61, 66, 70, 75, 80

Here, number of terms = 8 which is even

`= 1/2 {"n"/2 "th term" + ("n"/2 + 1)"th term"}`

`= 1/2 {8/2 "th term" + (8/2 + 1)"th term"}`

`= 1/2` {4th term + 5th term}

`= 1/2 {61 + 66}`

`= 1/2 xx 127 = 63.5`
