Question

Find the median of the observations, 59, 75, 68, 70, 74, 75, 80.

Answer 1

The observations in ascending order: 59, 68, 70, 74, 75, 75, 80.

Since, the number of observation, n = 7, which is odd.

Median = `( (n + 1) / 2)^"th"` = `(( 7 + 1 ) / 2)^"th"` = `(8/2)^"th"` = 4^th Observation 74

So, the median of the observations is 74.
