Step-by-step explanation:

3,9.8

Answer 2

Answer:

Median = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Median- one of the measures of central tendency; it helps to find the middle value of the sorted data.

It goes with the formula,

let the terms of the data be X1,X2...… Xn

              Median =  $(\frac{n+1}{2})^{th}$ Observation if n is odd

                            = $(\frac{n}{2})^{th} +(\frac{n+1}{2})^{th}$ Observation if n is even

given data,

 12,14,13,9,8,15,16

First we have arrange the data in ascending or descending data, then the data is called as sorted data, which helps to find the accurate median.

Ascending data: 8,9,12,13,14,15,16

the given data has 7 terms, that is n=7 is odd

Median = $(\frac{7+1}{2})^{th}$ Term

             =$(\frac{8}{2})^{th}$ =4th Term

∴ Median = 13
