Question

Find the medion of numbers 5,3,2,7,9

Answer 1

Answer:5

Step-by-step explanation:

as it is discrete,

Arranging in descending order

Therefore,9,7,5,3,2

As the total no. Of observations are 5 which is odd..

Median=n+1/2th observation

=5+1/2

=6/2=3

Therefore the answer is the third observation i.e. 5

Hope this helps you..

Answer 2

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the median of some data, we need to arrange the data either in ascending or descending order. Here, I'll arrange it in ascending order.

2, 3, 5, 7, 9

No of terms (n) = 5. This means n is odd. So median = (n+1)/2 th term from the data = (5+1)/2 = 6/2 = 3rd term.

The third term here is 5. So, 5 is the median.
