Question

Median

Find the median of the data
3.3,3.5,3.1,3.7,3.2,3.8

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First order it in ascending order

2.8 3.5 3.2 3.3 3.5 3.7

The total number of observation is 6 that is even number

Median =(n/2)th observation

6/2=3 observation

So median = 3.2

Answer 2

Given: $3.3,3.5,3.1,3.7,3.2,3.8$

We have to find the median of the above data.

We are solving in the following way:

We have,

$3.3,3.5,3.1,3.7,3.2,3.8$

As we know that the median is the middle number in a sorted list of numbers. So, to find the median, we need to place the numbers in value order and find the middle number.

Ordering the data from least to greatest, we get:

$3.1 , 3.2 , 3.3 , 3.5 , 3.7, 3.8$

As we can see, we do not have just one middle number but we have a pair of middle numbers, so the median is the average of these two numbers:

$\text { Median }=>\frac{3.3+3.5}{2}=3.4$

Hence, the median is$3.4$.
