Answer:
What is the median of 5 and 7?
Explanation: The mean is the average of the 5 numbers which is 7; considering this there is another aspect to take into account, we have to take into account the median being 6. A median means that if the numbers are going to be put in order, the mid-value has to be 6.
Answer:
Median is the middle most value of a series. So when the series has odd number of elements then median can be calculated easily but when the series has even number of elements then the series has two middle values, so median is calculated by taking out the average of both the value.
The series is first arranged into either ascending or descending order. The formula to calculate median = (N+1) /2 th term of the series where N is the number of observation in the series.
The given series is first arranged into ascending; 2,4,5,6,7,8,9.
N= 7
median= (7+1)/2 th term = 8/2 th term = 4 th term = 6.
