Question

Find the median of: 1, 3, 4, 6, 2, 4, 5, 6, 2, 3, 1, 4, 0, 4, 4, 4, 8, 9, 7, 4

Answer 1

Solution,

Arranging the data in ascending order:

0,1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,5,6,6,7,8,9

N(total number of items)= 20

Now,

Median:

$(\frac{n + 1}{2)} ) ^{th \: item} \\ = (\frac{20 + 1}{2} ) ^{th \: item} \\ = \frac{21}{2} \\ = 10.5 \: th \: \: item$

Again,

Median:

$\frac{10 \: th \: item + 11 \: th \: item}{2} \\ = \frac{4 + 4}{2} \\ = \frac{8}{2} \\ = 4$

Answer 2

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

1, 3, 4, 6, 2, 4, 5, 6, 2, 3, 1, 4, 0, 4, 4, 4, 8, 9, 7, 4

Arrange the numbers from smallest to largest

0,1, 1,2,2, 3,3, 4, 4,4,4,4,4 , 4, 5, 6, 6,   7, 8, 9,

There are 20 numbers

The middle number is between 10 and 11

0,1, 1,2,2, 3,3, 4, 4,4   ,4,4,4 , 4, 5, 6, 6,   7, 8, 9,

The median is 4
