Question

What is the median of 7, 10, 7, 5, 9, 10?

Options

• 7

• 9

• 8

• 10

Answer 1

8

Explanation:

Since, the ascending order of the given data is as: 5, 7, 7, 9, 10, 10.

And, the number of observations is 6, which is even.

The third and fourth two numbers will be in the middle. They are 7 and 9, respectively.

So, the median of the given data

= `(7 + 9)/2`

= `16/2`

= 8
