Step-by-step explanation:

To find : The median for first 16 odd natural number ?

Solution :

The first 16 odd numbers are 1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17,19,21,23,25,27,29,31.

The median of even number is given by,

$M=\frac{1}{2}[\frac{n^{th}}{2}+(\frac{n^{th}}{2}+1)]$

Here, n=16

$M=\frac{1}{2}[\frac{16^{th}}{2}+(\frac{16^{th}}{2}+1)]$

$M=\frac{1}{2}[8^{th}+9^{th}]$

The 8th term is 15 and 9th term is 17,

$M=\frac{1}{2}[15+17]$

$M=\frac{1}{2}[32]$

$M=16$

Therefore, the median for first 16 odd natural number is 16.
