Question

Find the median of the following data :
16, 23, 31, 8, 20, 12, 26, 35, 14​

Answer 1

Answer:

The median is 20

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we arrange the following in ascending order:

8, 12, 14, 16, 20, 23, 26, 31, 35

Now, we find out the total no. of elements in the list: 9 (by counting)

The formula for median of a list is simply the (n+1)/2 th positioned element. Which in this case is the (9+1)/2 th or the 5th element.

The 5th element is 20 (by counting)
