Question

The weight (in kg) of 15 dogs are as follows 9,26,10,22,36,13,20,20,10,21,25,16,12,14,09. find the median weight

Answer 1

Hi.

Here is your answer---

_______________________

Arranging the Numbers in a ascending order,
 
          9,9,10,10,12,13,14,16,20,20,21,22,25,26,36.

We can see the number of Weights(n) = 15.

Since, the number is odd, Formulas to Calculate the Median is---

   Median = [(n+1)/2]th term
                =  [(15 + 1)/2]th term.
                = 8th term.

Thus, in an group of 15 numbers which are arranged in an ascending order, the 8th term is 16.

Hence, Median is 6.

Have a nice day.

Answer 2

Concept Introduction:

Median is the middle term of the number when arranged in increasing order.

Given: Set of numbers $9,9,10,10,12,13,14,16,20,20,21,22,25,26,36.$

To Find:

We have to find the value of, median.

Solution:

According to the problem,

Arranging the Numbers in a ascending order, $9,9,10,10,12,13,14,16,20,20,21,22,25,26,36.$

We can see the number of Weights(n) = $15$.

Since, the number is odd, Formulas to Calculate the Median is---

Median = $[(n+1)/2]$th term

             = $[(15 + 1)/2]$th term.

             = $8$th term.

Thus, in an group of $15$ numbers which are arranged in an ascending order, the $8$th term is $16$.

Hence, Median is $6$.

Final Answer:

The value of median is $6$.
