Question

find the median of 55,60,35,51,29,63,72,91,85,82​

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of the middle-most observation is called the median of the data.

First arrange the given numbers in ascending order,

29, 35, 51, 55, 60, 63, 72, 82, 85, 91

Here n = 10, which is even.

Where, n is the number of the given number.

median = ½ {(n/ 2)th term + ((n/2) + 1)th term}

= ½ {(10/ 2)th term + ((10/2) + 1)th term}

= ½ {(5)th term + ((5) + 1)th term}

= ½ {(5)th term + (6)th term}

= ½ (60 + 63)

= ½ (123)

= (123/2)

= 61.5

Hence, the median is 61.5.

Answer 2

Answer:

61.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Median = middle number in the data set

Write the data set in ascending order

Data set = 29,35,51,55,60,63,72,82,85,91

As total numbers are 10 (which is even)

Hence, median will be average of middle two numbers

Median = (60+63)/2 = 61.5

Note for odd numbers median will be the middle number only.
