To find the median of ungrouped data:
for example find the median of 1,2,6,4,5,3,6.
1. First arrange the data in the increasing order
1,2,3,4,5,6,6
2. median is the element in the data.
here n=number of elements = 7
(n+1)/2 = 4th element is 4.
So median is 4.
3. in case when n is even,
for example, find the median of 1,3,7,10
(n+1)/2 = 5/2 = 2.5
now the median is the average of 2 and 3 rd element.
median = (3+7)/2 = 5
