Anand says that the median of 3, 14, 19, 20, 11 is 19. What doesn’t the Anand understand about finding the median?
Answers
Answer:
3,5,14,18,20 therefore median is 14
Answer:
16.5 is the median of the given numbers.
Step-by-step explanation:
As we know , median is the middle number of the sequence if it's odd .
In statistics and probability theory, the median is the value separating the higher half from the lower half of a data sample, a population, or a probability distribution. For a data set, it may be thought of as "the middle" value.
let's arrange it in ascending order.
(That's the first mistake Anand made , he didn't arranged it in ascending order first)
3,11,14,19,19,20
here we get that the sequence is even .
so for even sequence ,
( this is the second mistake of Anand that he didn't knew even and odd condition)
we have the formula = (19+14)÷2
=33÷2
=16.5
Anand didn't got these points right. He didn't arranged the sequence in ascending order as well as he was unaware of even and odd median rule.
hence,
16.5 is the median of the given numbers.
