Question

The median of 19,23,2,25,17

Answer 1

• We have to evaluate the above expression by using the given data.

              Given data:- $19,23,2,25,17.$

              To find:- Median of given data.

              Solution:-

• To find the median first we have to arrange the given term in ascending order.

          $=>2,17,19,23,25 \text {. }$

• Here a number of observations are $n=5.$

        since n is odd

• The formula of Median is,

         $\text { median }=\left(\frac{n+1}{2}\right)$

          $\begin{array}{l}\text { median }=\frac{5+1}{2} \\\text { median }=\frac{6}{2} \\\text { median }=3 .\end{array}$

       Therefore, we will get a median that is $19.$

Answer 2

Given: The numbers are$19,23,2,25,17$.

We have to find the median of the above numbers.

• As we know that the median is the central number of a data set.
• We have to arrange data points from smallest to largest and locate the central number.
• Then the central number will be the median.

We are solving in the following way:

We have,

The numbers are$19,23,2,25,17$.

Arranging the numbers from smallest to the larget:

$2,17,19,23,25$

There are a total of five numbers so, the third number will be the median.

So, $19$is the median.

Hence, the median of the above numbers is$19$.
