Question

what is the median of the sample 5, 5, 11, 9, 8, 5, 8, ?​

Answer 1

In 5, 5, 11, 9, 8, 5, 8 the median of the sample is 8

Explanation:

• To find median in the given sample first we have to arrange the given sample in ascending order.
• Ascending order - 5, 5, 5, 8, 8, 9, 11
• Then we have to count the numbers.
• If it is an odd number then the middle number is the median.
• If it is an even number then the average of the two middle numbers will be the median.
• In the given question there are 7 numbers.
• So the middle number is the median.
• Therefore 8 is the median.

Answer 2

Answer:           Median = 8

Explanation:

GIVEN : 5 ,5,11, 9, 8, 5 , 8

TO FIND : Median of the following numbers

STEP BY STEP EXPLANATION :

To find the median we first need to arrange the following series of number in ascending order i.e.

       5 , 5 , 5 , 8 , 8 , 9 , 11

As the series contains odd numbers of number so,

     Median = ($\frac{n+1}{2}$)th term      ( here n = 7)

                   =  $\frac{7+1}{2}$

                    = $\frac{8}{2}$  = 4th term i.e. 8
