Question

the median of the data 32,48,24,38,30,37,21,35

Answer 1

Answer:

ARRANGE THE DATA IN ASCENDING ORDER

21,24,30,32,34,35,37,38, 48

NOW FIND THE MEAN OF THE MIDDLEMOST TERM

I.E.     4 TH AND 5TH TERM

I.E.   MEAN OF 32 AND 34

MEAN OF 32 AND 34= 32+34/2

                                   = 66/2

                                   = 33

HENCE THE MEDIAN IS 33

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

33.5

Step-by-step explanation:

First thing we need to do is to put the data in increasing order. This is needed to calculate the median:

32,48,24,38,30,37,21,35

21,24,30,32,35,37,38,48

To find the middle elements we can cross out elements at both ends of the set until only 1 or 2 remain uncrossed:

21, 24, 30, 32, 35, 37, 38, 48

There are 2 uncrossed elements, so their mean is the median:  

Median =  32+35 / 2  =  67/2  = 33.5
