Answer 2

Answer:

$\bf\huge{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

• 8 , 9 , 1 , 18

To find:

• find the median

formulas used:

• n ÷ 2 + 1

where,

• n = number of observation

Explanation:

⟼ 8 , 9 , 1 , 5 , 18

1 step : arrange number in numerical order

⟼ 1 , 5 , 8 , 9 , 18

2 step : count how many numbers we have

⟼ 1 , 5 , 8 , 9 , 18 = 5 numbers

3 step : divide 5 by 2

⟼ 5 ÷ 2 = 2

4 step : add 1 in divided number

⟼ 2 + 1 = 3

5 step : find what is 3 no. in our observation

⟼ 1 , 5 , 8 , 9 , 18

⟼ 3rd number is 8.

∴ 1 , 5 , 8 , 9 , 18 median is 8.
