Answer 1

Answer:

The median of the given data is 700.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following data in the question:

400, 600, 800, 1000

Formula:

$Median:\\\text{If n is odd, then}\\\\Median = \displaystyle\frac{n+1}{2}th ~term \\\\\text{If n is even, then}\\\\Median = \displaystyle\frac{\frac{n}{2}th~term + (\frac{n}{2}+1)th~term}{2}$

Median =

$\dfrac{2^{nd}+3^{rd}}{2} = \dfrac{600+800}{2} = 700$

Thus, the median of the given data is 700.
