Question

find the median of the observations 59,75,68,70,74, 75,80​

Answer 1

The observations in ascending order:59,68,70,74,75,75,80.

Since, the number of observations, n=7, which is odd.

$= median \: = (\frac{ n+ 1}{2} )th \\ \: \: \: \: \: = (\frac{7 + 1}{2}) th = (\frac{8}{2} )th \\ = 4th \: observation$

So the median of the observation is 74.

Answer 2

Answer:

74 is the median.

Step-by-step explanation:

Arranged in ascending order:59,68,70,74,75,75,80

Median is the data which is in the middle.

Formula: Median=n+1/2

=7+1/2

=8/2

=4

The fourth number in the observation is the median

If it is not arranged in ascending order the median would be 70
