Question

the median of the data 34, 23, 14, 21, 12, 66, is equal to



answer with explanation otherwise I will report​

Answer 1

Answer:

21

Step-by-step explanation:

first arrange in assending order:12,14,21,23,34,66

even=n/2

=6/2

=3

21 is median

Answer 2

The median is equal to 22.

Given,

4, 23, 14, 21, 12, 66

To Find,

The median =?

Solution,

We can solve the question as follows:

It is asked that we have to find the median of the data 34, 23, 14, 21, 12, 66.

First, we will arrange the data in ascending order.

$Ascending\: order = 12, 14, 21, 23, 34, 66$

Since the number of terms is even, the formula for finding the median is:

$Median = \frac{\frac{n}{2}^{th}\: term + (\frac{n}{2} + 1)^{th}\: term }{2}$

Where $n = Total\: number\: of\: terms$

Here, the number of terms is equal to 6.

Substituting n = 6 in the above formula,

$Median = \frac{\frac{6}{2}^{th}\: term + (\frac{6}{2} + 1)^{th}\: term }{2}$

             $= \frac{3^{rd}\: term + 4^{th}\: term }{2}$

The third and the fourth terms are 21 and 23.

Therefore,

$Median = \frac{21 + 23}{2}$

             $=\frac{44}{2}$

             $= 22$

Hence, the median is equal to 22.
