Question
Find the median of:
63, 17, 50, 9, 25, 43, 21, 50, 14 and 34
Solution
Firstly arrange the numbers in ascending order
9, 14. 17, 21, 25, 34, 43, 50, 50, 63
Now since n = 10( even )
Median =`1/2 [ "value of"( n / 2 )^"th" "term" + "value of" ((n)/(2) + 1)^"th" "term" ]`
=`1/2 [ "value of"( 10 / 2 )^"th" "term" + "value of" (( 10 )/(2) + 1)^"th" "term" ]`
= `1/2 [ 25 + 34 ]`
= `1/2 [ 59 ]`
= 29.5
Thus the median is 29.5.
