Question

the median of first 100 whole numbers is equal to

Answer 1

Answer:

Median of even number of terms = ( n/2 ) and ( n/2 + 1 ) observations.

According to the question we have 100 whole numbers

=> n = 100

Hence Median of the 100 whole numbers is:

Median = ( 100 / 2 ) and ( 100 / 2 ) + 1 observations

=> Median = 50 th and 51 st terms

Since it is given that they are whole numbers, 0 is included.

Hence 100 whole numbers means 0 to 99

Hence the 50 th and 51 st terms are : 49 and 50.

Hence 49 and 50 are the median of first 100 whole numbers.

Answer 2

Concept:

Whole numbers are the collection of natural numbers and 0. All whole numbers falling inside this range are in the range of 1 to 100.

Given:

First 100 whole numbers = 0,1,2,3,4, ….,99

Find:

We have to find the median of first 100 whole numbers.

Solution:

As we know that whole numbers starts with 1 including zero.

So, first 100 whole numbers = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, .. 99.

Median = (n-1)/2

where, n = number of terms

Median = (100 - 1)/2

Median = 99/2

Median = 49.5

Hence, median of first 100 whole numbers is 49.5.
