Find the median marks.

by

A student scored the following marks in 11 questions of a question paper : 3, 4, 7, 2, 5, 6, 1, 8, 2, 5, 7 Find the median marks.

Solution:

Arranging in the ascending order, 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5, 6, 7, 7, 8
Here, n = 11 i.e. odd,
The middle term = \\ \frac { n+1 }{ 2 } = \\ \frac { 11+1 }{ 2 } = \\ \frac { 12 }{ 2 } = 6th term
Median = 5

(a) Find the median of the following set of numbers : 9, 0, 2, 8, 5, 3, 5, 4, 1, 5, 2, 7 (1990)
(b)For the following set of numbers, find the median: 10, 75, 3, 81, 17, 27, 4, 48, 12, 47, 9, 15.

Solution:

(a) Arranging in ascending order :
0, 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5, 5, 7, 8, 9
Here, n = 12 which is even
