WHAT IS THE MEDIAN OF THE DATA BELOW:7,7,4,6,7,4,7,6,2

Answer 1

Given

The data,

7,7,4,6,7,4,7,6,2.

To find:

The median.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

The data,

7,7,4,6,7,4,7,6,2.

That implies,

Arrange the given data in ascending order,

2,4,4,6,6,7,7,7,7.

Since n is 9 (odd).

Then,

`\begin{gathered} Median=(n+1)/(2)th\text{ }term \\ =(9+1)/(2)th\text{ }term \\ =(10)/(2)th\text{ }term \\ =5th\text{ }term \\ =6 \end{gathered}`

Hence, the median is 6.
