Question

What is the median of the following values? 45, 32, 21, 12, 9, 33, 69, 71, 28, 5?

Answer 1

5, 9, 12, 21, 28, 32, 33, 45, 69, 71,

28+32/2 = 30
The median is 30

Answer 2

Median of data is 30.

Explanation:

Given: Data 45, 32, 21, 12, 9, 33, 69, 71, 28, 5.

We have to find the median of the following values.

Consider the given data 45, 32, 21, 12, 9, 33, 69, 71, 28, 5.

Median is defined as the middle value of the data arranged in ascending order.

First arrange the given data in ascending

5, 9, 12, 21, 28, 32, 33, 45, 69, 71.

Thus, there are 10 terms (even),

so middle value is
`((n)/(2)+((n)/(2)+1))/(2)` terms.

where n is number of terms.

Here, n = 10

So , median is
`[tex]((10)/(2)+((10)/(2)+1))/(2)`[/tex] terms.

that is
`(5^(th)+6^(th))/(2)`

5th term is 28 and 6th term is 32

So, median is
`(28+32)/(2)=30`

Thus, Median of data is 30.
