Find median of given data 38,42,35,37,45,50,32,43,43,40,36,38.,43,38,47
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Given, 38,42,35,37,45,50,32,43,43,40,36,38,43,38,47
Ascending order,
32,35,36,37,38,38,38,40,42,43,43,43,45,47,50
Median =n+1/2 th value
= 15+1/2 th value
= 16/2 th value
=8 th value
=40
Given,
The data: 38,42,35,37,45,50,32,43,43,40,36,38,43,38,47
To find,
The median of the given data.
Solution,
The median of the given data will be 40.
We can easily solve this problem by following the given steps.
According to the question,
The data: 38,42,35,37,45,50,32,43,43,40,36,38,43,38,47
Now, arranging the numbers in ascending order,
32, 35, 36, 37, 38, 38, 38, 40, 42, 43, 43, 43, 45, 47, 50
There are a total of 15 numbers.
(15 is an odd number.)
So, the median will be the middle term of thw given data.
Middle term = (15+1)/2th term
Middle term = 16/2
Middle term = 8th
So, the 8th term is the median of the given data.
8th term = 40
Hence, the median of the given observations is 40.
