Question

What is the median of 5,5,8,15

Answer 1

6.5

Explanation:

First, you should arrange the data in ascending to descending to find the median.

5, 5, 8, 15

Now let us use the given formula to find the median.

`\sf (n+1)/(2) =--^t^h data`

Here,

n → the number of elements

Let us find it now.

`\sf Median= (n+1)/(2)\\\\\sf Median=(4+1)/(2) =2.5^n^d data\\\\\sf Median=(2^n^d data+3^r^d data)/(2)\\\\Median=(5+8)/(2)\\\\Median=(13)/(2)\\\\Median=6.5`

Answer 2

• The median is 6.5

----------------------

There are four elements of data.

The median is the average of the middle two terms:

• median = (5 + 8)/2= 13/2 = 6.5
