Question

Find the median of 72, 63, 29, 51, 35, 60, 55, 91, 85, 82.

Answer 1

By arranging the numbers in ascending order

We get

29, 35, 51, 55, 6, 63, 72, 82, 85, 91

We know that n = 10 which is even

So we get

Median = ½ {(n/2)th term + (n/2 + 1)th term}

It can be written as

Median = ½ {5^th term + 6^th term)

By substituting the values

Median = ½ (60 + 63)

On further calculation

Median = ½ (123)

We get

Median = 61.5
