Question

If in a science test, 8 students obtained the scores 78, 75, 70, 65, 63, 61, 60 and 55, then their median score is​

Answer 1

Answer:-

Median = It can be define as the middle term of the series.

Example :-

Series = 5 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10.

Here, Median = 8 because 8 is the middle most term of the series.

Given Series - 78, 75, 70, 65, 63, 61, 60 , 55

=> 55, 60 , 61 , 63 , 65 , 70 , 75 , 78

Since, It has even number of terms.

=> There are 2 middle terms.

The Number of Terms are even.

=> Middle Most Term = n/2

=> Middle Most Term = 8/2

=> Middle Most term = 4th Term

So,

Middle term are 4th term and 5th term.

Hence,

63 and 65 are the Median of the series.

Answer 2

Answer:

there are 8 candidate so there are 2 median

65 and 63 so in the middle of the teo median there is 64

so tge write answer is 64
