Find the median of first 9 odd numbers.

Answer 1

.....ANSWER IS 9....

Answer 2

Given:

First 9 odd numbers

To find:

The median

Solution:

The required median is 9.

We are given the following numbers-

1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17

We need to arrange all the given terms in a specific order to calculate the value.

Since the terms are already from the lowest to highest and are odd in number, the median term will be=(n+1)/2.

Here n represents the number of terms.

So, n=9

Median term=(9+1)/2

=10/2=5th term

In the sequence, the 5th term is 9.

So, median=9

Therefore, the required value is 9.
