Question

The marks scored by 11 students in mathematics test are as follows 34,37,30,38,50,34,34,38,36,45,31 find the value of median

Answer 1

Answer:

median is 34

Step-by-step explanation:

you need to count the total number of numbers and pick out the middle number.. in this one.. the total is 11 so the middle is 6 because you take 5 in each side. the center number is the 6th one which is 34

Answer 2

Answer:

The median is 36.

Step-by-step explanation:

The median is the middle value of the data set.

The median value for an odd set of numbers is the middle value.

The formula is:

$Median=[\frac{n+1}{2}]^{th}\ obs.$

Arrange the data in ascending order as follows:

30 , 31 , 34 , 34 , 34 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 38 , 45 , 50

The value of n is 11.

Compute the median observation as follows:

$Median=[\frac{n+1}{2}]^{th}\ obs.=[\frac{11+1}{2}]^{th}\ obs.=[\frac{12}{2}]^{th}\ obs.=6^{th}\ obs.$

The 6th observation is 36.

Thus, the median is 36.
