Answer 1

Given:

Number of seats in the front row=23 seats

To find:

A seat that occupied the median position

Solution:

We can find the solution by following the given steps-

We know that the seat that has occupied the median position can be found by using the formula (n+1)/2, where n is the total number of seats.

So, the seat occupying the median position= [(n+1)/2]th seat.

The total number of seats=23

Median= (23+1)/2

=24/2

=12

Therefore, the 12th seat occupied the median position.
