Question

For the following set of numbers, find the median 10,75,3,81,17,27,4,48,12,47,9,15.​

Answer 1

On arranging in ascending order 3, 4, 9, 10, 12, 15, 17, 27, 47, 48, 75, 81

Here, n = 12 which is even

Therefore, median = {(n/2)th term + (n/2 + 1)th term}/2

= {(12/2)th term + (12/2 + 1)th term}/2

= (6th term + 7th term)/2

= (15 + 17)/2 = 32/2 = 16

Median = 16.
