Answer 2

$\huge\underline{\underline{\blue{\textbf{Explanation : -}}}}$

To Find :

• median of data

Solution :

Given data :- 5 ,9 ,8 ,7 ,2 ,3 ,4, 9

Arranging the data in ascending order

• Data : 2, ,3, 4 ,5, 7, 8, 9 ,9

Number of observations = 8 (even)

Using Formula for finding Median of data

As value of number of observations is Even then

$\boxed{\underline{\orange{\bf{Median = \frac{n}{2}th \:term}}}}$

here,

• n = number of observations

so,

Median = 8/2 th term

Median = 4th term

• 4th term is 5

Hence

• Median of data is 5
