Question

Find the median of the observations 1/5, 1/2, 1/6, 1/4 and 1/3.​

Answer 1

Answer:

First take the LCM of the denominators such that u will get

12/60, 30/60,10/60,15/60,20/60.

arrange then in ascending order such that

10/60, 12/60,15/60,20/60,30/60

From the above observation we can say that the middle term is median that is 15/60 i.e 1/4

so answer is 1/4
