Question
The percentage marks obtained in 10 subjects by a student are 84, 88, 72, 91, 68, 75, 98, 96, 79 and 86. Find the median of the marks obtained.
Solution
Arranging the given data in descending order :
98, 96, 91, 88, 86, 84, 79, 75, 72, 68
The middle term are 86 and 84 which are 5th and 6th terms
median = `(86 + 84 )/2 = 170/2 = 85`
Therefore, Median of marks = 85.
