The median of the data 27,9, 2, 35, 13, 7, 40, 20, 28, 22, 25, 24 is :
(a) 40
(b) 23
(c) 22
(d) 24​

Answer 1

Answer:

median is 23 according to the option. but it's exact answer is 23.5

Step-by-step explanation:

median means finding out the middle no. out of the set of observations

but here as the no. of observations is 12 which is an even no. so will take the middle two no. and find the average of that.

therefore here the two middle no. are 7 and 40

so (7+40)/2

= 47/2

= 23.5
