Question

The median of the following numbers is-10,6,2,3,8,15

Answer 1

ascending order -10 2 3 6 8 15
if even
mean of n and n+2
2. 2
=6 and 8
2. 2
3rd term and 4th term
3 and 6
mean of 3 +6
2
= 9
2
= 4.5


medain = 4.5

Answer 2

first arrange in ascending order ,

e.g., 2, 3, 6 , 8, 10, 15

here total number of observations , n = 6


median of given numbers = mean of (n/2)th and (n/2 + 1)th term in given observations

= mean of 3rd and 4th term in given observations

= (6 + 8)/2 = 7

hence, median of given observations is 7.
