Answer 2

Given:

The data 5,7,12,9,8,21,14,16,25

To Find:

The median of the data

Solution:

As the first step to find the median, we need to arrange the given data in ascending order.

= 5, 7, 8, 9, 12, 14, 16, 21, 25.

Here the number of observations (n) is odd.

Therefore,

Median = (n+1/2) th term

= 9+1/2 th term

= 10/2 th term

= 5 th term

= 12.

The median for the given data 5,7,12,9,8,21,14,16,25 is 12.
