Question

what is the formula to find median of odd and even numbers?

Answer 1

Formula to find median of odd numbers
_________________________________

M = (n+1)/2th element [ Where M= median, n = total number of elements]

Eg:

Let's think we have to find the median of 1, 2,3,4,5

Then,

M = 5+1/2

or, M = 3rd element

The number at third position is 3.

Formula to find the median of even numbers
____________________________________

M = 1/2{n/2th element+ (n/2 + 1)th element} [ where M is the median and n is the total number of elements]

Eg:

Let's think we have to find median of 1,2,3,4

Then,
n/2 = 4/2

or,n/2 = 2nd element

n/2 + 1 = 2+ 1

or,n/2 + 1 = 3rd element

The numbers at 2nd and 3rd positions are 2 and 3

Now,

M = 1/2 {n/2 + ( n/2 + 1)}

or, M = 1/2 × 2 + 3

or, M = 5/2

or, M = 2.5

Hope it helps.
