The median of the following data: 0, 2, 2, 2, -3, 5, -1, 5, 5, -3, 6, 6, 5, 6 isA. 0B. -1.5C. 2D. 3.5 |

Answer» Correct answer is D. D) 3.5 First of all we arrange the given data in increasing order.-3, -3, -1, 0, 2, 2, 2, 5, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6 Now we count the no. of observations i.e. 14 which is even. So applying Median formula for even no. of observation we get, median \(=\frac{(\frac{n}{2})^{th}+(\frac{n}{2}+1)^{th}}{2}\) Where, xth represent xth term. median \(=\frac{\frac{14}{2}^{th}+(\frac{14}{2}+1)^{th}}{2}\) median \(=\frac{7^{th}+8^{th}}{2}\) \(=\frac{2+5}{2}\) median = 3.5 |
