Question

The median of the data 13 15 16 17 19 20 is

Answer 1

✬ Median = 16.5 ✬

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

• Data is 13 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 19 , 20

To Find:

• What is the median of data ?

Solution: The term which is in the center of the data (after arranging data in ascending order) is the median of data.

If number of terms in data is odd then the middle term of data will be its median and if number of terms is even then , Median will be the average of middle two numbers.

Now, Arranging the given data in ascending order

➼ Order will be : 13, 15, 16, 17, 19, 20

This data has two middle terms third (16) and fourth (17)

∴ Median = Average of these two terms/2

$\implies{\rm }$ Median = (16 + 17/2)

$\implies{\rm }$ Median = 33/2

$\implies{\rm }$ Median = 16.5

Hence, the median of given data will be 16.5

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

median mean middle term

middle term is 16 and 17

if there is 2 middle term then

16+17/2

16.5 is the median
