Question

What is median of data 10,24,48, 10.8,7, 5, 14 ?
(a) 10
(b)5
(c)8
(d)2​

Answer 1

Answer:

First number should be arranged in ascending order : 5, 7,8, 10,10, 14,24,48

As the number of observations are odd, then we should use formula

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

   = [ 8/2 th +(8/2th +1)]/2

  = 4th + 5th /2

  =  10+10 /2 = 20/2 =10

Option a) 10 is the answer
