Question

median of the following 9 1 2 8 7 6 4 5 3 is

Answer 1

Median is the middlemost observation in a given set of data.

To find: The median.

Answer:

Observations: 9, 1, 2, 8, 7, 6, 4, 5 and 3.

First, we will have to arrange them in ascending order.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9.

Median = (n + 1)/2, where n represents the total number of observations.

NOTE: The above formula is to be used only when n = an odd number.

Total number of observations: 9.

Median = (9 + 1)/2

Median = 10/2

Median = 5th term

Median = 5

Hope it helps :)
