Question

The marks scored by 10 students in a Mathematics test are as follows: 30 34 34 36 37 38 38 45 50
Find the Median.

Answer 1

Answer:

37 is the median

Step-by-step explanation:

30, 34, 34, 36, 37, 38 ,38, 45, 50

Median = (n+1)/2

N is the number of observations.

(9+1)/2= 10/2= 5

The 5th no. is the median which is 37.

Answer 2

Answer:

Hence median of the given number will be 37

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the details provided in the above question.

It is given that the score of 9 students are as follows,

30 34 34 36 37 38 38 45 50.

We have to find the median.

As we know that,

For determining the value of median we need to first arrange the given number in either ascending or descending order.

So firstly we will arrange the given terms in ascending order,

We will get,

30 34 34 36 37 38 38 45 50.

Here the formula of median is

if the number of total term is odd then median will be

$\frac{n+1 }{2}$

Where n is the total number of terms,

As here total number of terms is 9 I. e. odd

So median will be

$\frac{9+1}{2} = \frac{10}{2} = 5th \: term$

So 5th terms from left is 37
