Question

24. The weight of 12 players of a team are givenbelow:Find the median and mean weight.
Weight in (kg) 48 /50/52/54/58
No. of Players.4/3/2/2/1
​

Answer 1

The values are Mean=21.83 and Median=52

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that " The weight of 12 players of a team are given below "

Weight in (kg)  -  48    50    52   54    58

No. of players  -  4       3      2      2      1

To find the median and mean weight for the given data :

• First find the mean

Mean$=\frac{sum of the weights}{No. of players}$

$=\frac{48+50+52+54+58}{4+3+2+2+1}$

$=\frac{262}{12}$

$=21.83$

Therefore Mean=21.83

• Now to find the median:

Already the given data is in ascending order therefore the middlemost value is the median for the given data ( and since it is odd)

Therefore Median is 52
