Question

find the median of 17,18,25,2,13,6,35​

Answer 1

SOLUTION:-

Given:

17, 18, 25, 2, 13, 6, 35

To find:

The median.

Explanation:

Median: The median is a simple measure of central tendency.

Formula of the median:

(1). If the number of terms n are odd, then

$Median = \frac{n + 1}{2} th \: term$

(2).If the number of terms are even, then

$Median = \frac{ \frac{n}{2} th \: term + ( \frac{n}{2} + 1)th \: term }{2}$

Now,

Arrange in ascending order of the given above number:

2, 6, 13, 17,18,25,35

Adding total number,(n)= 7

Using the formula of odd term:

$Median = ( \frac{n + 1}{2} )th \: term \\ \\ Median = ( \frac{7 + 1}{2} )th \: term \\ \\ Median = ( \frac{8}{2} )th \: term \\ \\ Median = 4th \: term$

So,

Median is 17.
