Answer:

sorry I don't know the answer

Answer 2

Question:-

$40 \: \: 38 \: \: 36 \: \: 31 \: \: 28 \: \: 26 \: \: p + 4 \: \: \: p + 2 \: \: 18 \: \: 10 \: \: 8 \: \: 7 \: \: 4 \: \: 3$

The median of following observations is?

Solution:-

There are even number of observations

The median is

$\frac{n}{2} \: \: and \: \: \frac{n}{2} + 1$

n = 14

$\frac{n}{2} = \frac{14}{2} = 7$

$\frac{n}{2} + 1 = \frac{14}{2} + 1 = 7 + 1 = 8$

So, the observations are p+4 and p+2

Median of p+4 and p+2 is

$\frac{(p + 4) + (p + 2)}{2}$

$= \frac{2p + 6}{2}$

$\frac{2(p + 3)}{2}$

$= p + 3$

The median is p + 3
