Question

find the median for the data 8,12,3,6,5,10​

Answer 1

Answer:

10

12,17,3,14,5,8,7,15

No' of observations (n) =8

first of all we arrange the observations in an ascending order

3,5,7,8,12,14,15,17

Here observe that No' of observations (n) is even so

Median is average of 2n th term and (2n+1) th term

Median =22nth term+(2n+1)th term

              =228th term+(28+1)th term

               =24th term+5th term

               =28+12

               =220

               Median = 10

Answer 2

1st arrange the data in this form 3,5,6,8,10,12

median=sum of 2observation/2

median=(6+8)/2

median=14/2

hence median is 7
