Question

Four alternative options are given for the following statement. Select the correct option from it: The median of 37, 83, 70, 29, 32, 42, 40 is:A. 29 B. 30 C. 40 D. 42

Answer 1

Answer:

c. 40

Step-by-step explanation:

The data is 37, 83, 70, 29, 32, 42, 40

The total number of terms = 7

The ascending order of the given data is:

                      29, 32, 37, 40, 42, 70, 83

The median of the raw is the

•       the mean of the (n/2) and (n/2 +1) th term if n is even

•       the (n+1)/2 th term if n is odd of the ascending or descending order of the given data

Here n is odd.

Thus the median is the (7+1)/2 = 4th term of the ascending order of the given data.

The 4th term = 40

Therefore the median is 40.
