Question

The ages (in years) of 8 teachers in a school are 24, 27, 43, 36, 42, 33, 21, 26. Find the
median age​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, arrange the given ages in ascending order.

We get,

21, 24, 26, 27, 33, 36, 42, 43

Now,

It is observed that the above series contains even numbers ( 8 )

So,

For even numbers,

= \frac{add \: two \: middle \: ages}{2}=

2

addtwomiddleages

= \: \frac{27 + 33}{2}=

2

27+33

= \frac{60}{2}=

2

60

= 30

Therefore,

Answer : The median age is 30 years.

Additional Information :

● For odd series, the middle term is known as the median number.
