63

65

answer=60

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data is: 60, 55, 63, 44, 65

Arranging in ascending order:

44, 55, 60, 63, 65

Here, N = 5 (Odd number)

$\therefore \: Median = ( \frac{N + 1}{2} )^{th} \: term \\ \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = ( \frac{5 + 1}{2} )^{th} \: term\\ \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = ( \frac{6}{2} )^{th} \: term\\ \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = {3}^{rd} \: term\\ \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = 60 \\ \\ thus \\ \\ \huge \purple{ \boxed {Median = 60}}$
