Question

6 numbers from a list of 9 integers are 7,8,3,5,9 and 5.find the largest possible value of the median of all nine numbers in this list

Answer 1

the median of the numbers is 6

Answer 2

To get the median we first arrange the numbers in ascending or descending order.

We arrange as follows.

3, 5 , 5 , 7 , 8 ,9

The series is even.

The median is thus the average of 5 and 7

this is :

(7 + 5)/2 = 12/2 = 6

the median is 6.
