Question

What is the median of 6,8,10,11,12,15,16,17,8,21,21,23,24,24,24,29,32,36,40

Answer 1

21

Explanation:

Put the numbers in order from smallest to greatest then you can cross out each until you end up with one number in the middle. But if you have two numbers then add them together and then divide by 2 (since you have two numbers left) then you will have your answer.

Answer 2

21 is the median of the above sequence.

Explanation:

We have given the sequence:

6,8,10,11,12,15,16,17,8,21,21,23,24,24,24,29,32,36,40.

We have to find the median of the sequence.

First, we arrange the sequence in ascending order we get,

6,8,8,10,11,12,15,16,17,21,21,23,24,24,24,29,32,36,40

Then as we know that median is the that is in the middle of the arranged sequence.

So, 21 is the median of the above sequence.
