Answer 2

Answer:

The median of first eight positive multiples of 2 is 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

First 8 multiples of 2 are 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16

Median is the middle value of the given data arranged in ascending order.

if number of terms = p then p can be even or odd

Case 1: when p is odd, then $\frac{n}{2}$ is median.

Case 2: when p is even, then we get two middle values $\frac{n}{2}$ and $\frac{n}{2}+1$

to find median find the average of these two numbers.

Here, number of terms = 8 (even)

thus, the two middle values are 8 and 10

To find median, we have to find the average of 8 and 10

$\text{Average} =\frac{8+10}{2}$

$\text{Average} =\frac{18}{2}$

$\text{Average} =9$

Thus, the median of first eight positive multiples of 2 is 9.
