Question

The median of the data: 17, 2, 7, 27, 15, 5, 14, 8, 10, 24, 48, 10, 8, 7, 18, 28 is

Answer 1

Answer:

Median is 12

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all to find the median data should be arranged in ascending order.

Aranging data in ascending order

2, 5 , 7 , 7 , 8 , 8 , 10 , 10 , 14 , 15 , 17 , 18 , 24 , 27 , 28 , 48

Now there are even number of terms i. e 16

So,

M1 = n / 2 and M2 = ( n / 2 ) + 1

= 16 / 2 = 8 + 1

= 8th term = 9th term

M1 = 10 M2 = 14

Median, M = ( M1 + M2 ) / 2

= ( 10 + 14 ) / 2

= 24 / 2

= 12

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Arranging in ascending order we get

2,5,7,7,8,8,10,10,14,15,17,18,24,28,48

Median=10+14/2=24/2=12
