Question

find the median
7,11,20,6,3,16,17,23,12

Answer 1

Answer:12

Step-by-step explanation:First we arrange the data in ascending order.

We get- 3,6,7,11,12,16,17,20,23.

Since the count of data is odd because there are 9 digits,we can simply count and find that median,i.e,middle term is 12

else with formula it is -

Median=(9+1/2)th term

=5th term

=12.

Hence the median is 12.

Answer 2

No. of terms = 9
Median = ((n+1/2))th term
= ((9+1/2))th term
= 5th term
Now arrange them in ascending order.....
3,6,7,11,12,16,17,20,23
So the 5th term is 12.......
Hence the median is 12
