Question

Find the median of the daily wages of the workers from the following data:

20, 25, 27, 18, 8, 15, 22, 11, 9, 14​

Answer 1

Answer:

15.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Median = Sum of observations / total no. of observations

             = (20 + 25 +27 + 18 + 8 + 15 + 22 + 11 + 9 + 14) / 10

             = 155/10

             =15.5

Hope it helps...

Answer 2

Answer:

PLS DO CHECK THAT UR QUESTION IS ALSO WRONG THAT THE 18 MUST BE REPLACED BY 17 'IF SO THE MEDIAN IS 16,JUST YOU SHOULD DO IS TO SUBSTITUTE 17 INSTEAD OF 18 IN THE BELOW GIVEN STEPS AND MEDIAN WILL COME AS 32/2=16

HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND....

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN

20, 25, 27, 18, 8, 15, 22, 11, 9, 14​

ASCENDING ORDER:

8, 9, 11, 14, 15, 18, 20, 22, 25, 27

NO. OF WORKERS(n)=10=EVEN

MEDIAN= (N/2)+[(N/2)+1)TH OBSERVATION / 2

               =10/2+[(10/2)+1]TH OBSERVATION  /2

               =5th +6th OBSERVATION  /2

  here,

5th OBSERVATION=15; 6th OBSERVATION = 18

here substitute it:

MEDIAN =5th +6th OBSERVATION  /2

                = 15+18/2

                =33/2

MEDIAN=16.5

THEREFORE, THE MEDIAN OF THE GIVEN VALUES IS 16.5

HOPE THIS IS HELPFUL...
