Write the median of the data 15.40, 40, 25, 16, 24, 32, 36, 12, 16, 19. 28 |
Answer» Solution!!The concept of median has to be used here. The data is given in the QUESTION. We have to arrange it in ascending order and then applying a suitable formula to find the median. Observations = 15, 40, 40, 25, 16, 24, 32, 36, 12, 16, 19, 28 Now, let's arrange these observations in ascending order. Observations = 12, 15, 16, 16, 19, 24, 25, 28, 32, 36, 40, 40 There are total 12 observations in number. Total number of observations = 12 Now, let's APPLY the formula! Median = ((n/2)th term + ((n/2) + 1)th term) ÷ 2 Median = ((12/2)th term + ((12/2) + 1)th term) ÷ 2 Median = (6TH term + 7th term) ÷ 2 The 6th and 7th term in the observations are 24 and 25, respectively. Median = (24 + 25) ÷ 2 Median = 49 ÷ 2 Median = 24.5 |
