Question

Find the median of the data.
54 46 51 54 48 49 56 62 25 33 40 24 54 21 32 70 63​

Answer 1

Explanation:

first of all, the median is the value in the middle of a data set. If the data set has an odd number of data (same as here , it has 17 numbers), the middle one is selected. To find the median, first arrange the numbers in order, usually from lowest to highest:

21 24 25 32 33 40 46 48 49 51 54 54 54 56 62 63 70

then find the middle one like this :

(21 24 25 32 33 40 46 48) 49 (51 54 54 54 56 62 63 70)

and the middle one is 49.
