Question

what is the meadian of first 10 natural no.?

Answer 1

Hi

Here is your answer,

First 10 natural numbers:-

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10

Number of observation is n so it is even 10

median = average of n/2 + 1 + n/2

n/2 = 10/2

= 5 

Now, n/2 + 1 

= 5 + 1 = 6


Now Median = 5 + 6/2
  
          =  11/2 = 5.5 ( Answer)


Hope it helps you !

Answer 2

First 10 natural numbers :
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10

Here number of observation (n) is even, so we can find median by following formula :

Mean of the values of ( n/2 )th and [(n/2) + 1]

so, (n/2)th term = (10/2)th term = 5th term = 5

[(n/2)+1]th term = [(10/2)+1]term = (5+1)th term = 6th term = 6

Now, mean of 5& 6 = (5 + 6 )/2 = 11/2
➡ 5•5

So, required answer is 5•5.

Median of first 10 natural numbers is 5•5
