Question

The median of 17, 26, 60, 45, 33, 32, 29, 34 and 56 is

Answer 1

ANSWER

Arranging data in ascending order- 17,26,29,32,33,34,45,56,60

Count of observations =9

Median for odd number of data is the middle most observation

So median =5th observation =33

If 26 is replaced by 62, then the observations in ascending order will be- 17,29,32,33,34,45,56,60,62.

Again Median for odd number of data is the middle most observation

So new median =5th observation =34

Answer 2

Arranging the numbers in ascending order

17,26,29,32,33,34,56,60

Median is the middle most number..

32+33/2= 65/2 is the median
