Question

Find the median of following data 8,15,23,14,6,8,3,16,15,18​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

ordered data= 3,6,8,8,14,15,15,16,18,23

median (middle score in ordered data)= halfway between 14 and 15 = (14+15)divide by 2

=29 divide by 2

=14.5

Answer 2

Answer:

median = 14.5

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the median,arrange the given data in ascending/descending order.

Ascending order :

3, 6, 8, 8, 14, 15, 15, 16, 18, 23

=> They are even in number. [n = 10]

=> apply formula,

median  $=\frac{1}{2} [(\frac{n}{2} )th \ term + (\frac{n}{2} +1)th \ term]$

median  $=\frac{1}{2} [(\frac{10}{2} )th \ term + (\frac{10}{2} +1)th \ term]$

median  $=\frac{1}{2} [{5th \ term + 6th \ term]$

median $=\frac{1}{2} (14+15)$

median $=\frac{29}{2}$

median = 14.5
