Answer 2

The median of the given numbers = 7

Explanation:

The given numbers are:

10, 6, 2, 3, 8, 18

To find, the median of the given numbers = ?

Arrange the given numbers in ascending order:

2, 3, 6, 8, 10, 18

Here, the number of observations (n) = 6 (which is even)

∴ Median = Average of $\dfrac{n}{2}th$ and $(\dfrac{n}{2}+1)th$ terms

= Average of $\dfrac{6}{2}th$ and $(\dfrac{6}{2}+1)th$ terms

= Average of 3th and 4th terms

= $\dfrac{6+8}{2}$

= $\dfrac{14}{2}$

= 7

Thus, the median of the given numbers = 7
