 The monthly salary (in$) of 10 employees of a factory are :
             12350, 7900, 7500, 8700, 8300, 10320, 12800, 9200, 13000, 11000     Ascending order : 7500,7900,8300,8700,9200,10320,11000,12350,12800,13000
        It is an even number results . so,the median will be the mean of 2 central numbers . the central numbers are :8300 and 10320 .
 so,
       8300+10320/2=18620/2
                                 =9310
   Therefore the median salary is Rs.9310 .
