Question

The middle person in a row is the 16th, how many persons are in the row?

Answer 1

Answer:

There are 31 people in the row

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us say that the number of people in the row is = x

We can also assume that the people arranged in the row are counted from one end.

The median value can be got using the formula:

median (middle person) = (n +1 )/2

where n = number of people in the row

hence, we will have

16 = (n +1)/2

n = 32 -1 =31

Therefore, there are 31 persons in the row
