Answer 1

Answer:

$\red { Median } \green {= 4.5 }$

Step-by-step explanation:

$Given \: data : 2,3,2,6,5,4,5,5$

/* Arrange the data in ascending order,we get

$2,2,3,4,5,5,5,6$

$Number \: of \: terms \: in \:the\:data (n) \\= 8 \:(Even)$

$Median = Average \: of \: \frac{n}{2} \: and \\\left(\frac{n}{2} + 1 \right) ^{th} \: terms$

$= Average \: of \: \frac{8}{2} \: and \\\left(\frac{8}{2} + 1 \right) ^{th} \: terms$

$= Average \: of \: 4^{th}\: and \\5^{th} \: terms$

$= \frac{4+5}{2} \\= \frac{9}{2}\\= 4.5$

Therefore.,

$\red { Median } \green {= 4.5 }$
