Median of the data 13,16,12,14,19,12,14,13,14 is ______?
13
14
12
16
Answers
Answer:
14
Step-by-step explanation:
Median = n/2 + 1 th term
here n= 9
.: median=9+1/2 th term
which is equal to 5 th term
Arrange the given data in ascending or descending order... then check ✔️ which is the 5th term ...
so the answer is 14 ....Hope it helps you
Solution!!
Observations → 13, 16, 12, 14, 19, 12, 14, 13, 14
We have to arrange these observations in ascending order.
Observations → 12, 12, 13, 13, 14, 14, 14, 16, 19
Total number of observations = 9
The formula to find the median of odd number of observations is different from the formula to find the median of even number of observations. In this case, we have to use the formula of odd number of observations.
Median = ((n + 1)/2)th term
Here n is the total number of observations.
Median = ((9 + 1)/2)th term
Median = (10/2)th term
Median = 5th term
The fifth term from the observations is 14. So, the median is also 14.
Median = 14
