Answer 2

Therefore the median of the given data set is 526,265,726,672,625,248,482,252,276,267,284,256 is '280'.

Given:

The set of numbers: 526,265,726,672,625,248,482,252,276,267,284,256

To Find:

The median for the given set.

Solution:

The given question can be answered by following the steps.

Given data set: 526,265,726,672,625,248,482,252,276,267,284,256

Step-1: Arrange the given data set in ascending order or descending order.

⇒ 248, 252, 256, 265, 267, 276, 284, 482, 526, 625, 672, 726

Step-2:

Now the median is the middlemost number if the number of elements given is odd and the median becomes equal to the average of the middlemost 2 numbers if the number of elements given is even.

In this question, the number of elements given is '12' which is even so the median becomes the average of middlemost 2 elements.

⇒ Average of middlemost 2 element or average of 6th and 7th elements = ( 276 + 284 )/2 = 280

Therefore the median of the given data set is 526,265,726,672,625,248,482,252,276,267,284,256 is '280'.
