Answer 1

Answer:

The median is found by ordering the set from lowest to highest and finding the exact middle.

so, The median is just the middle number

125

Answer 2

Answer:

Median : Middle - most observation

Formula:

Median (in case of odd no. of observations) = (n+1/2)th Observation

Explanation:

First, arrange the data in ascending or descending order (I am going with ascending order)

So, your data will look like

100,120,125,130,135

As there are 5 observations, Therefore, the Median will be (n+1/2)th Observation

==> Median = (5+1/2)th observation = (6/2)th observation = 3rd observation

Therefore, Median  = 125.

Hope the answer helps you.
