Question

find the median: 16, 7, 18, 42, 24, 20, 48, 12

​

Answer 1

Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:

Arrange all the numbers in ascending order

And find the number of terms as n

As n/2th term is median

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

first arrange the given terms  in ascending order

ascending order - 7,12,16,18,20,24,42,48

the no. of terms  here are even i.e. n=8

therefore  , median= [(n/2)th term +{(n/2)+1}th term]/2

              [ (8/2)th term +{(8/2)+1}th term]/2

              [4 the term +{4 + 1 } th term]/2

                [4 th term + 5th term ]/2

                 (18+20)/2

                  38/2

                      19 ans ......

if the no. of terms have been odd then the median would be (n+1)/2
